LIVED AT FALLSBURG
                                            ----------
    Mr. Alcinious Collinsworth (best known as "Cine") passed away
Saturday afternoon, Sept. 9th at his home in Fallsburg, this county,
seven miles north of Louisa. Pneumonia caused his death on the ninth day
of this fatal disease. He had been a sufferer from asthma for many years
and this complication probably lessened his chances of successfully
combating pneumonia.
    The funeral took place on Monday morning at the residence at 10 a.m.
and interment was made in the Fannin burial ground on Bear Creek, near
the scene of his birth.Rev. H.B. Hewlett and Dr. H.G. Sowards of Louisa
were the officiating ministers. The Masonic fraternity of Louisa, took
part in the services. An unusually large crowd was in attendance, many
being present from Louisa, Ashland and other points. H.H. Curtright,
mortician, was in charge.
     The active pallbearers were members of the Masonic order: R.S.
Hayes, Wm. Justice, M.L. Johns, L.D. Fyffe, L.D. Harrison of Louisa,
John Cooksey, of Fallsburg, Honorary: George Martin, John Sanburn, Mr.
Herne, of Catlettsburg, Judge J.W. Woods, Jeff Stewart, John Gartin, of
Ashland, M.F. Conley, A. Snyder, G.R. Vinson, Dr. L.H. York, W.T. Cain,
L.F. Wellman, G.R. Lewis, and Wm. Fulkerson of Louisa.
     Mr. Collinsworth established himself many years ago as one of the
most substantial business men in the county. He was a merchant and
farmer for many years after locating in Fallsburg 42 years ago, to which
point he came from Bear Creek, near the Boyd-Lawrence Co. line, retiring
from the mercantile business he continued to operate his farms and deal
in live stock. He was a shrewd business man and accumulated a large
estate. Industrious, sober, and of  good habits, he won his way from a
modest start in life.
    His death is the first to occur in this family for forty years, we
are told. Although 77 years old he was very active and wll preserved.
He was a son of the late Tom and Elizabeth Lovejoy Collinsworth of Bear
Creek, Boyd Co. He married in 1881 Luvenda Campbell, who survives him.
He had been a member of the Fallsburg M. E. Church, South, for a number
of years.  Also a member of the Louisa Masonic Lodge, the Fallsburg
Lodge I.O.O.F.
     Besides his wife he is survived by four daughters: Mrs. J.S.
Ashworth of Ashland; Mrs. John H. Ekers and Mrs. F .D. Damron of
Fallsburg; and Mrs. Sherman Devoid of Cleveland, Ohio; three sons, L.C.
of Raceland, Ky. and Jay and Charles of Ashland; two brothers, Jack of
