ROBT. HEMINGRAY DEAD.


Robert Hemingray of Covington, Ky., died suddenly yesterday at the Sanatorium at College Hill, Ohio, says the Cincinnati Enquirer, where he had been for several years suffering with nervous prostration due to over work that baffled the medical experts all over the country.

He leaves a widow, formerly Miss Nannie Timberlake, one daughter and two sons. The father went to the front in the Spanish-American war. He was a son of the late Robert Hemingray, the founder and owner of the Hemingray glass works formally of Covington, now located at Muncie, Ind.

His brother, Ralph G. Hemingray, is now the president of the glass works at Muncie, and another brother, Dan Hemingray, is also associated with the same concern. His sister, Mrs. Bradford Shinkle, is the wife of the president of the Covington and Cincinnati Suspension Bridge Co. A sad feature in connection with his sudden death is the absence of the members of his family.

Mrs. Robert Hemingray, widow of the deceased, and daughter, Miss Sue, have made their home in this city during the husband and father's illness in Covington, left this morning accompanied by other relatives of the Hemingray family who will attend the funeral in that place Sunday. Conway Hemingray of St. Louis and Robert Hemingray, at present in the East, sons of the deceased, will also attend the funeral.

Researcher notes:The statement: "The father went to the front in the Spanish-American war" is an error. It was his son, Robert "Robin" Hemingray who was in service and served in Cuba during the Spanish-American War.
