ASH, HENRY
Death of Henry Ash - Wealthy and Prominent Resident of Palestine Succumbs at Sealy Hospital
Surrounded by this wife and others near and dear to him, all that was mortal of Henry Ash passed away at 3:10 o'clock this morning. Mr. Ash was a resident of Palestine, and came to Galveston about two weeks ago for treatment, going to the Sealy hospital, where his death occurred.
Henry Ash was 60 years of age, and was a native of Germany. He came to this country when quite a young man, located at Palestine 35 years ago, and was a continuous resident of that place ever since. He was most successful in his business affairs, and had amassed quite a fortune, having retired from the business several years ago. The deceased had been a frequent visitor to Galveston and was well known in business and social circles here. He was greatly admired among Galvestonians, not only for his honest methods as a business man, but for his loveable personal characteristics as well.
Mr. Ash has always been identified with the progress and uplifting of Palestine and was one of the leading spirits in promoting its growth. There are many things in his character to be admired, and all Palestine will regret his death.
The deceased leaves a wife and eight children to mourn his loss. His children are Mrs. Hyman Pearlstone, Miss Ida Ash and Walter, Pauline, Sadye, Lilian, Ben and Phyllis Ash. Those at his bedside at the time of his death were his wife, Mr. and Mrs. Hyman Pearlstone, Master Walter Ash, Mrs. B. Pearlstone, Mr. and Mrs. Alex Hyman of New Orleans, and the deceased's only grandchild, little Lorrine Mildred Pearlstone.
The body of the deceased will be shipped this afternoon to Palestine, where the funeral will occur tomorrow afternoon. [Palestine Daily Herald, Palestine, Texas, November 25, 1903 -
