Hello IL from OH I looked up in the Akron and Summit County Book and there is a blurb about a Lincoln ELLSWORTH: Lincoln ELLSWORTH, a wealthy man from Hudson (Summit) OH financed a successful Arctic flight. He tried to reach the North Pole with Roald AMUNDSEN, polar explorer. There is more and if this ELLSWORTH is your relative I will send the rest of the info. By the way since your from IL I am interested in who the man was that the SELFRIDGE Air Force base was named after. In ca 1920 a military man named SELFRIDGE was with the Wright Brothers on one of their flights and was killed in the crash. I am during this info from memory but I cut it out of the magazine section of the Washington Post.
