Ralph Gray Hemingray

A Good Citizen Gone.

In the passing away yesterday at Covington, Ky., of Ralph G. Hemingray, prominent manufacturer and well known citizen, Muncie suffered a severe shock and a great loss. Mr. Hemingray was held in high esteem by all who knew him, and among his close personal friends he was considered a brother to them all. Hs heart was as large as the whole outdoors and he did not know what it was to refuse one in distress. His great pleasure was found in doing something for the other fellow. But Mr. Hemingray was one of those whose many acts of kindness go by unnoticed by the public. He was liberal in his views and his liberality extended to his purse to such an extent that he was always found a ready giver to any cause that tended toward the good of the community and the uplifting of humanity. He was a great lover of nature and most of the leisure time of his busy life was spent in the outdoors. The city of Muncie has lost a great benefactor, and humanity a friend whose heart beat always in measured cadence and sympathy with its needs, its desires, its frailties.
