Daniel Carroll Hemingray

PARALYSIS

Dealt a Swift Blow

And Gave Death a Princely Man

For a Victim

"Dan" Hemingray, Manufacturer

and Clubman.

Stricken in an Automobile on the

Way From His Office To

His Home.

After having been stricken with paralysis when apparently in the full flush of health, Daniel Carroll Hemingray, glass manufacturer and clubman, passed away shortly after 5 o'clock yesterday morning in a private room at the Queen City Club. He regained consciousness a short time before death, and recognized and spoke to the members of his family who gathered about his bedside.

Mr. Hemingray was stricken on Tuesday afternoon while in his automobile on the way from the Hemingray Glass Company in Covington, to his home in Glendale. Shortly after the machine reached this side of the river, Mr. Hemingray commented to a friend who accompanied him that he was feeling ill and distressed, and the chauffeur was instructed to drive quickly to the Queen City Club of which he was a member. He was helped from the auto and taken to one of the sleeping rooms where Dr. Harry H. Hines was summoned. Examination revealed that the stroke of paralysis was extensive, and that it would be extremely dangerous to remove Mr. Hemingray to either his home or a hospital.

Dr. Ed Walker and other physicians were called into consultation, and nurses were secured and the fight for life began.

On Wednesday the patient at times exhibited symptoms of dangerous sinking spells and on several occasions reports were carried out that the end was near. His friends at the club did all they could to assist the physicians and nurses. Wednesday evening he again developed sinking spells and the physicians gave up hope.

Had a Host of Friends

"Dan" Hemingray, as he was universally known, was probably one of the best known men in the city. His jovial disposition and good fellowship was a magnet that drew about him for a cluster of friends to whom his death will be a sad blow. He was always smiling and his appearance at the Queen City Club was always hailed with delight. There were no dull moments in his company, and many are the Queen City Club members, who depressed with the cares of business, found mental rest from their worries in the optimistic, jovial, and happy temperament of "Dan" Hemingray.

Mr. Hemingray had many warm personal friends in Covington where he was highly thought of by scores of persons who were employed at the Hemingray Glass Company before its removal to Muncie, Ind. He was also a man who had comforting words and was ever willing to do a kind turn for his fellow man and for charitable institutions.

He was one of the first stockholders of the Suspension Bridge Company, the Cincinnati Trust Company, and at one time was a member of the Covington Waterworks Department.

The funeral services will take place at the chapel of the Highland Cemetery on the Lexington pike, three miles from Covington, tomorrow afternoon at 3 o'clock.

His Family Connections

Mr. Hemingray married Clara Keck, daughter of the late "Si" Keck, and she survives him. His brother, Ralph G. Hemingray, is President of the glass company and makes his home in Muncie, Ind., where the factory is located. Mrs. Bradford Shinkle, of Covington, and Mrs. W. H. Felix, of Lexington, wife of Rev. W. H. Felix, are surviving sisters. Rev. Mr. Felix now is in Florida.

Mr. Hemingray was born in Covington, in 1857, a son of Robert Hemingray. At Woodward High School, he was 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.
