WITH DEATH

Prominent Glass Manufacturer

Succumbs at Queen City Club

Daniel Carroll Hemingray, 54, of Glendale, died after a short illness at the Queen City Club at 5 o'clock Thursday morning.

Mr. Hemingray, who was Secretary and Treasurer of the Hemingray Glass Co., of Covington, Ky., and Muncie, Ind., and a prominent clubman, was taken ill Tuesday night. Apoplexy caused death.

Tuesday evening Mr. Hemingray with a party of friends was motoring home from his office in Covington. On reaching Cincinnati he complained of feeling ill and was taken to the Queen City Club. He was removed to a room and Drs. Ed Walker, Harry H. Hines, Frank Cross, and two nurses were called.

Wednesday his condition was believed to be improved, but during the night he suffered a relapse, which proved fatal. He was conscious up to five minutes before his death.

Classmate of Taft

Besides his interests in the glass company, he was a member of the Board of Directors of the Cincinnati Trust Company.

Mr. Hemingray was born in Covington, a son of Robert Hemingray. At Woodward High School he was a classmate of President Taft. After graduating there he went to Chickering preparatory school and later to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He returned to Cincinnati before his graduation there and entered business with his father and brother, Ralph G. Hemingray.

Mr. Hemingray was known as a charitable man, and made many subscriptions for public welfare. His constantly cheerful disposition made him one of the most beloved men in Cincinnati.

Held Public Office

At a time he was a member of the Covington Water Works Board.

Until a year ago, Mr. Hemingray and his wife lived in Covington.

Ralph G. Hemingray, the brother who is President of the Hemingray Co., with offices in Muncie, arrived in Cincinnati Wednesday afternoon.

Mr. Hemingray is survived by the widow, his brother and two sisters, Mrs. Bradford Shinkle and Mrs. W. H. Felix, of Childsburg, Kentucky.

Rev. William H. Felix, now visiting in Clearwater, Fla., a brother-in-law, will have charge of the funeral services if he arrives in time. The services will be held Saturday at Highland Cemetery Chapel, Covington, with interment in that cemetery. During his short illness, Mr. Hemingray was called on by scores of friends. A number of his personal acquaintances waited near his room until the early hours Wednesday and Thursday.
