Mr. A. E. Ainsworth, one of the most highly esteemed citizens of Hazlehurst, received fatal injuries about 10 o'clock Saturday night (Nov. 1, 1930) while on his way to his home from his filling station.... Local physicians were immediately summoned, who advised that Mr. Ainsworth be carried to a hospital in Jackson. This was done as quickly as possible. Upon arrival at the hospital it was decided to immediately set the leg which was broken. Mr. Ainsworth never regained consciousness after the administration of ether, and it was found that while there was no fracture of the skull, he had received an injury to the brain. A blood transfusion was given, the blood being supplied by his daughter, Mrs. Ellis Allen; but the patient lingered unconscious until 10:45 Monday morning (Nov. 3, 1930), when death came....
Mr. A. E. Ainsworth was a native of Hinds county. He came to Hazlehurst (Copiah Co.) with his brother, the late William Ainsworth, about the year 1887, and engaged in the livery and feed business, and sold farm mules. He was very successful in business, until the coming of the automobile made a radical change in his line of business. He moved with his family to Canton, and was in business in that city for a few years; but he soon returned to Hazlehurst, and has resided here ever since. Mr. Ainsworth was first married to Olivia Granberry, who preceded him in death several years. Of this union three sons and three daughters survive: Mr. Eugene Ainsworth, Mr. Reid Ainsworth and Mr. Peyton Ainsworth, all of California; Mrs. Kenneth Catching, of Chicago; Mrs. Ellis Allen of Hazlehurst, and Miss Alice Ainsworth, a senior student at Mississippi College. About 3 years ago (about 1927) Mr. Ainsworth was married to Miss Florence Cook of Hazlehurst, who also survives him.
Dr. and Mrs. A. J. Ainsworth, parents of Messrs. William and A. E. Ainsworth, were brought to Hazlehurst by the two devoted sons and lived here until their death.
Mr. A. E. Ainsworth was 66 years of age. He had been for many years a faithful and consistent member of the Hazlehurst Baptist Church. He served for a term or two as alderman of the town, and the city never had a better official. He was also for many years a member of the Board of Trustees of the city schools, and was a useful and helpful member of the Board.
In all his business relations. Mr. Ainsworth was the very soul of honor. His judgment was respected, and his counsel often was sought.
Funeral services were conducted at the Baptist Church immediately following the arrival of No. 3 Tuesday afternoon, (Nov. 4, 1930) by Revs. George P. White and Del Longgrear, with interment in the Hazlehurst Cemetery.
Thus passes from the life of this community a man who has been a useful, upright and progressive citizen for almost half a century; but his memory will remain green in the hearts of many true friends thruout the county until they, too, shall answer the final summons.
