Glasco Sun, Nov. 15, 1928, page 3:
Mitt O. Ainsworth, the son of Lewis and persis Bartholomew Ainsworth, was born April 1, 1860, during their second sojourn in California. His birthplace was at Horsetown, a small village in Shasta County in Northern California in the, at that time, heart of the Gold Placer mines. They later moved to Weaverville in the adjoining Trinity County.
When nine years of age the family moved from Weaverville to Jones County, Iowa. Most of his schooling was obtained near Montacell, Iowa.
When he was 18 years of age, the family, being natural pioneers, in 1878 moved to Glasco, Kansas, where he assisted in the development of the rich prairie country.
He lived 24 years in Kansas, less 2 years spent in Salem, Oregon.
He managed the Ainsworth farming and stock raising interests, shipping his cattle and hogs to the Kansas City markets.
He was a partner with his father and F.L. Ainsworth in the banking interests in Glasco, Kansas.
Three years after the families of his father and F.L. Ainsworth had moved to Orange, he sold most of his interests in Kansas and moved to Orange, California in 1903.
On arriving in Orange, he purchased from his brother-in-law, Frank W. Butler, a one third interest in the Ainsworth and Butler Lumber and Planing mill business.
For over 15 years he with his father and brother carried on this business. After the sale of this business he became a walnut and citrus rancher.
He was married to Nellie L. Sutton of Guide Rock, Neb. on October 13, 1882. Four children were born to this home: Rose, now Mrs. B.J. Fletcher; Ina, now Mrs. Carl Schmidt of San Fernando; Jessie, now living at Costa Mesa and Nellie, now Mrs. James Ragan. Mrs. W.F. Kogle came into the home when a very small girl, a niece of his wife, and grew to womanhood as one of his own children and just as dear in his sight.
He was a lover of Southern California and of his own home town.
For four years he served his city as efficient City Trustee.
For many years he has been interested in the banking interests in Orange, serving three years as the president of the Orange Savings Bank.
He always stood for good morals and clean living.
An earnest lover of "the home" made him a good husband and father.
Of his father's family only his mother, Mrs. L. Ainsworth, now 92 years of age and his brother F.L. Ainsworth survive him.
His wife survives him, and his children and grandchildren as they look back over the life he lived here will have nothing to regret.
Honest, always pleasant in his contact with others, ready with efficient service for his town or community. An earnest Christian gentleman and thoughtful of his aged mother.
For many years he served as a deacon and trustee of the First Christian Church of Orange of which he was a member.
He died on October 11 and was buried on the 45th anniversary of his wedding day, October 13, 1928.
A good, home loving man has gone to his reward.
