Obituary Record

Charles A. Worsley died at the Touro Infirmary at 9.10 a. m. yesterday. Mr. Worsley had been a great sufferer for the past year. He married Katherine Suiget Hunter of Natchez, Miss., who survives him. Although his home was at Bat St. Louis, he was connected in business here with the Herasheim Tobacco Manufactory, and one of the most valued of that firm's employees. He has been connected with the Herasheim factory for nearly thirty years, and he was the personal friend of the herasheims who testified their high esteem for him by their many acts of kindness to him and his family.

His immediate death was the result of an operation which it was thought would prolong his life, but his constitution had been weakenend by the many hemorrhages before the operation was resorted to. He made an heroic effort to survive the operation, and it was wonderful how he bore up and remained cheerful and hopeful to the last.

Mr. Worseley was one of the best known business men in New Orleans, and his loss will be greatly felt by his large circle of friends. His remains were taken to his sister-in-law's, Mrs. J. Edward Hale, residence, 2828 Camp street, and then removed to Bay St. Louis on last night's Louisville and Nashville train.

Mr. Worsley was fifty years old. His sister, Miss Isabelle Worsley, survives him, and is the only member of his immediate family who survives htm. (-N.O. Times-Democrat.)

Mr. Worsley's remains reached this city from New Orleans Tuesday night and were conveyed to his residence from which place the funeral took place next day, the ceremonies being conducted Rev. Mr. Bentley, curate of St. Paul's church in New Orleans. The pallbearers were: Hon. E. J. Bowers, E. E. O'Brien, George Shotwell, E. A. Brandao, J. W. Prentiss Hon. Aug. Keller, William J. Gilmore and John Fink. Mr. Worsley was a worthy and progressive citizen and his death is deeply deplored.
