Mrs. Ralph Gray Hemingray (nee Virginia "Jennie" Matthews)

MRS. HEMINGRAY DEAD.

After Years of Patient Suffering,

The End Came Peacefully.

Mrs. Ralph Hemingray died at the Walker home on West Washington street, in this city, yesterday afternoon after an illness of several years. Tuberculosis was the cause of death. For several years Mrs. Hemingray was a patient sufferer. The best medical attention in the country was given her but her relief was obtained only at intervals. Yesterday morning she gave up all hope of ever recovering and summoned the family. Death occurred about 3:30 in the afternoon.

Until failing health made it impossible, Mrs. Hemingray was active in Muncie society. Before her marriage to Mr. Hemingray she was Miss Jane Matthews, of Covington. Her family was one of the best known in that part of the state. Ex-Governor Claude Matthews, of Indiana, was a brother. Mr. Hemingray is owner of the Hemingray glass factory.

A husband and two daughters survive. The remains will be taken to Covington for interment.

Few women are possessed of more amiable temperaments than that of Mrs. Hemingray. Through all the years of martyrdom to pain, she bore up bravely and cheerfully. Her passing from life and from the friends whom she treasured so dearly was unusually pathetic.
