Eccentric Traveler, Abraham Ash, Buried
A handful of distant relatives and acquaintances saw the body of Abraham Ash, eccentric 72-year-old world traveler, off on its last journey Monday.
Ten persons sat in the chapel of the Bower Undertaking Company at 4 p.m., while Edgar Spearman conducted a short service for the man who grew up in Dallas, but spent all his mature life wandering about the world.
Ash wandered from a train bound for Detroit, Mich., at London Ontario, July 6. He died there three days after he was found in a semicoma. The Jewish Fraternity of London, believing him to be a pauper, was prepared to bury him in an obscure city plat when investigation revealed he was wealthy.
He was buried in Oakland Cemetery.
