RASH, A. K. – Linden, In. Nov 29. - A. K. Rash, for the past fifty-five
years a
prominent merchant of this place, died suddenly this afternoon, at
1:15 o’clock. Death was due to acute indigestion. Mr. Rash arose as usual
this morning and after opening his store here, returned to the home of his
brother, Warren Rash, for breakfast. He was stricken while sitting at the
table, but after physicians had been summoned, rallied, and it was thought
that he was out of danger. Another spell, however, occurred at 1:15 o’
clock, which was fatal. Mr. Rash was born in Jefferson, August 27, 1847,
and when still a young man, entered business here, and was regarded as one
of the most prominent merchants in the county. For the past fifty-five
years he has conducted a general merchandise store, and was well known over
this section of the state. Kind and courteous in all his dealings, Mr. Rash
’s death is regarded as a genuine loss to the entire community. !
Surviving besides his brother Warren, with whom Mr. Rash made his
home,
are two sisters, Mrs W. A. Roberts and Mrs. Emma Pixley., both of Delphi;
The funeral is to be held Saturday morning at 10:30 o’clock from the home of
Warren Rash, and the burial is to be at Stockwell Cemetery. (Lafayette,
Indiana Journal and courier, Friday, November 3, 1923)
