Ainey was born near Des Moines, Iowa, on August 8, 1865, the daughter of Reverend George R. Baker (1818-1881) and Elizabeth Schultz Baker (1821-1888). [1]
She was the President of the Portia Club; The Portia Club first opened on November 1, 1927, at 225 North 9th Street, Payette, Idaho. The clubhouse served as a center of social activity for more than 50 years, but the women who founded it are almost forgotten. In February 2005, the ownership of the Portia Club passed to The Friends of the Portia Club, who reoped the club to the public and the clubhouse is included in the National Register of Historic Places listings in Payette County, Idaho.
