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 Shalem 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:
Pocahontas Council No. 493 Royal Arcanum; Harmony Lodge No. 19 I.O.O.F.; Friendship Conclave No. 2, Heptasophs or S.W.M.; and Orient Lodge No. 734, Knights of Honor. The remains were conveyed to Elmwood Cemetery for interment and were followed to the ground by numbers of friends and acquaintances.
The following gentleman were the pallbearers:

I.O.O.F.--Messrs. Wm. Wood and R.G. Turner
Heptasophs or S.W.M.--Messrs. Wm. Fletcher and L.T. McGuire
