Mr. Gash turned to the Lord at the age of thirty. He began preaching at once. His ministry was confined to the Military Tract. For many years he led the singing in his home church at Macomb. At the time of his death he had united more people in wedlock than any minister in McDonough County. He was a brotherly man of sweet spirit and a consecrated and helpful Christian. His end came by apolexy [sic - apoplexy]. The democracy of the gospel was well illustrated in his spirit and life.
