Mr. Robert Hash, affectionately called "Uncle Bob" died at his home in the east part of the city Sunday, February 16th at three p.m. He had been in failing health for some months, but had been confined to his house hardly three weeks.
In the passing of Uncle Bob Strawn loses an upright honorable man and good citizen. He was well known and loved by young and old and will be greatly missed by his friends as well as his relatives.
He has been a familiar figure on our streets for twenty years and his going leaves a space that no one else can fill. Uncle Bob had never married and made his home with the family of his brother Joe Hash, now deceased. At the death of this brother fifteen years ago, when the four children were small he took the place of the father in the caring for and helping his brother's widow rear the children.
Robert Hash was born in Mt. Vernon Missouri September 18, 1857. He was one of a family of thirteen children. In the fall of 1870 he came to Texas with his parents the family settling in Dallas county. As a young man he handled cattle and was one of a group of sixteen cowboys that helped drive a herd of six thousand cattle in 1878, starting from Williamson county and taking up the last of the herd in Bells Plains Callahan county and going over the famous Chisholm Trail up into the Black Hills of South Dakota.
The funeral was held at the grave in Mt. Marion cemetery, with Rev. D. S. Draper of Fort Worth, minister of the Church of Christ, conducting the service. Here a large concourse of friends gathered to pay their last tribute of respect to Uncle Bob.
Mr. Hash is survived by the family with whom he made his home. Mrs. Joe Hash and children, Mrs. Harry Swetnam of Lubbock, J. B., Wanette and Mayme Hash of this city; three brothers and three sisters, namely, Lem Hash of Mangum Okla., Mrs. Jane Gould, Wingate, Philip Hash of Killeen, Mrs. M. E. Wright, Wichita Falls, Frank Hash, Killeen and Mrs. Maud McKee, Killeen, alil (sic) of whom were present except Mrs. Wright who was ill and could not come, and a number of nieces and nephews to whom the Tribune extends sympathy.
The pall bearers were J. W. McCorkle, Joe Dalton, Jno. R. Anderson, W. W. Carlyle, Bill Hastings and Ross Pollard.
