Biographical history
Ainsworth was visited by both Methodist and Presbyterian missionaries in the early 1890s. In 1893 a Methodist church was built in Ainsworth. In 1903, the Methodists withdrew from the area and the Presbyterians purchased the Methodist church, renaming it Ainsworth Presbyterian Church. Shortly after Church Union in 1925 the community of Ainsworth gradually declined and the church was deserted.
