ROBERT HEMINGRAY

Well Known Manufacturer

Passes Away.

Robert Hemingray, well and favorably known in Muncie, died at Covington, Ky., yesterday. His death was sudden, but not unexpected as for many months there had been no hope of recovery. Paralysis of the brain is given as the direct cause of death.

Until failing health forced his retirement, Mr. Hemingray was an active member of the Hemingray Glass company. He was associated with his father, founder of the company, and his brothers, Ralph and Dan. He was popular with the workmen and with business men generally. Few men in Muncie have been better liked and possessed of more friends.

Mr. Hemingray is survived by a wife and three children, who make their home in Muncie. The sons, Conway and Robin, were notified of their father's death while in St. Louis. Mr. Ralph Hemingray left for Covington last evening to make arrangements for the burial. Mrs. Hemingray and daughter, Miss Ashley, left today. The deceased was a charter member of the local lodge of Elks and that organization will doubtless be represented at the burial which will be held Sunday.
