Death of Mr. Michael Nash
Mr. Michael Nash, an old citizen of Washington, died last night at his home in East Washington from the effects of injuries received in a fall about a week ago. Mr. Nash was throwing some wood in the cellar, and making a misstep, fell down the cellar-way, breaking several ribs and sustaining injuries to his head.
He was about 80 years of age, and one of the best known citizens of the District. He came to this country from Ireland about the year 1818, and after stopping in Baltimore a short time, came to this city and had resided here ever since. He was, in his younger days, identified with the District militia and the old volunteer fire department. For many years he was superintendent of the shoemaking establishment connected with the old penitentiary.
He was a charter member and large stockholder of the Firemen's Insurance company, and also a stockholder in the Great Falls Ice company.

Wills Filed
The will of Michael Nash, filed yesterday, leaves all his property, real, personal and mixed, to his wife, on condition that she transfer, after five years, lots 4, 5, 6 and 7, square 501, to his two sons, Edward and Wm. Nash. The widow is named as executrix.

Brother of Patrick Nash & Catherine (Nash) Doyle.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Michael and Ann Nash, lived in a large, brick house they owned at 813 L Street, SE, a few blocks from the Navy Yard. They had two sons, Edward, a bricklayer, and William, a carpenter. Born in Limerick, Ireland on May 1, 1805, Michael Nash came to this country about 1818. He lived the remainder of his life in the District of Columbia. 43 As a young man, he was a member of the local militia and the volunteer fire department. Later, he was employed as superintendent of the shoemaking establishment connected with the old penitentiary. In time, he was a charter member and large stockholder of the Firemen's Insurance Company, and was also a stockholder in the Great Falls Ice Company.
Nash was married to Ann Maria Clarke who was born on June 10, 1810, to Robert and Jane Clarke. 44 Michael Nash owned two houses in addition to the one he lived in, and several other pieces of property in the District. 45 Nash was a member of the Association of the Oldest Inhabitants of the District of Columbia. This citizens group was founded in 1865 to "keep alive the reminiscences of the past and the social and paternal communion of the present." 46 Its membership included such prominent Washingtonians as banker and philanthropist, William Wilson Corcoran, and Benjamin Ogle Tayloe, an owner of The Willard Hotel. An annual tradition in which Nash took part was the New Year's Day call upon the President at the White House. 47
The Nashes were communicants at St. Peter's Roman Catholic Church on Capitol Hill. Michael Nash may have been responsible for introducing Whitman to the parish's pastor, Reverend F.E. Boyle, to whom Whitman sent greetings in a letter to Doyle
