                     HONORING THE TOWN OF AINSWORTH

                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. MARK GREEN

                              of wisconsin

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, June 30, 2005

  Mr. GREEN of Wisconsin. Mr. Speaker, it is my distinct pleasure to 
recognize before this body the Town of Ainsworth as it celebrates its 
100th Anniversary this year.
  Named for a young immigrant from Dorchester, England, ``Uncle Tom'' 
Ainsworth, the Ainsworth name has long been a fixture of my district.
  Uncle Tom Ainsworth and his brothers played a key role in the 
agricultural development of the area, which included tending dams on 
the Wolf River. His descendents over the years have held several 
leadership positions to help continue the pride Uncle Tom had for his 
new home.
  Today, the Town of Ainsworth continues to hold tight to its 
agricultural roots with abundant natural resources and farming 
opportunities that keep its economy solid.
  Mr. Speaker, though the official anniversary date was April 4, 2005, 
I would like to extend congratulations on the past 100 years of success 
as the Town of Ainsworth holds its centennial celebration on July 2. 
And I wish the town and its citizens the best of wishes in the next 100 
years.

                          ____________________
