Mr. Ainsworth was born at New Woodstock, N.Y., but came to Whitesville in early life with his parents and had always lived here save for a time spent on his claim in Montana. His marriage to Julia E.

Our venerable townsman, who was a member of the former Baptist Association and G.A.R., was the last Whitesville member of the the last named organization. Only the past Spring he had set numerous seedling trees in memory of his comrads gone before in selected places about town during the time he was engaged in reforesting a large plot of land he owned in West Union. Previously he had set trees on the grounds of Whitesville High School and had many plantings of various kinds on his residence lot in Main street.
