                       Death of Professor C.C. Ainsworth
Professor C.C. Ainsworth, who has been for the last fourteen or fifteen years 
prominent in this city as a musician and organist, died between 1 and 2 o'clock 
Sunday morning at his residence, No. 162 Freemason street, after a painful 
illness which had extended over many months. The deceased, who was in the 40th 
year of his age, was a native of Preston, England but had been a resident of 
Norfolk, where he has ever since been conspicuous in musical circles, being a 
thoroughly skilled musician, and performer. He was for some years the organist 
at St. Paul's P.E. Church, and later occupied the same position in the Ohef 
Sholom Temple, Church street. Since his arrival in Norfolk he married a sister 
of Mr. Jerome S. Ames and leaves a widow and one child. He has been a 
communicant for some years of the P.E. Church and at the time of his death was a 
member of St. Luke's Church. His funeral took place at 3 o'clock yesterday 
afternoon from that church and was conducted by Rev. A.S. Lloyd, the rector who 
is also the chaplain of Pocahontas Council No. 493, Royal Arcanum. Prominent 
among those gathered were the members of the following organizations:

Friendship Conclave No. 2, Heptasophs or S.W.M. and Orient Lodge No. 734,
