| Keywords: | Hemingray |
| Researcher notes: | The reference to Mrs. Shinkle's father, "R. W. Hemingray," is probably in error. No other record exists wherein an middle initial of "W" is shown. Furthermore, the reference to the Hemingray Glass Company's removal to Muncie after her father's death is an error. |
