CASH - One of Lincoln county's best and most substantial citizens passed into the great beyond when Mr. John F. Cash breathed his last at about 6 o'clock Sunday morning, aged 66. He had been ill of pneumonia only a few days and while he was very ill from the start his physicians and family had hope for him until Saturday, when the worst came. Mr. Cash is survived by his wife and three children, Mesdames J. W. Hagin, of Covington, H. C. Baughman, of this place, and Mr. James N. Cash, of the Turnersville section. Only 10 days ago he buried his oldest daughter, Mrs. J. Randolph Harris, mention of which was made in these columns. Deceased had long been a citizen of this county and no man stood higher. He was a gallant soldier in the Confederate army and a Southerner in all the word means. He was one of Lincoln's wealthiest men, a director of the Lincoln County National Bank and in the McKinney Deposit. Mr. Cash was an extensive farmer until a few years ago when he sold his splendid farm near Turnersville and moved to Stanford. He seemingly enjoyed town life and took great interest in his handsome Danville Avenue home. Much sympathy is felt for the aged widow and children in their loss of a devoted husband and kind and indulgent father. Rev. H. C. Garrison preached an appropriate funeral sermon at the late home at 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon, after which a large concourse of friends followed the remains to Buffalo cemetery and saw all that was mortal of the good man consigned to mother earth. Following were the honorary pallbearers: Judge J. W. Alcorn, Judge M. C. Saufley, Messrs. S. H. Shanks, Walter Fields, James A. Givens, J. C. Hays, George S. Carpenter and Dr. J. B. Owsley. The active pallbearers were Messrs. J. E. Bruce, W. M. Bright, W. H. Higgins, T. J. Hill, Sr., J. B. Foster and J. W. Baughman.

Mr. Samuel N. Cowan, of Montana, a guest of Judge M. C. Saufley, is in Stanford renewing his acquaintance with the few surviving Confederate soldiers in Lincoln county. Mr. Cowan and Judge Saufley were lieutenants of the same company of the 6th Regt., Morgan's Cavalry. This regiment, commanded by Col. J. Warren Grigsby and Lt. Col. Napier, was distinguished during the war for its valiant service, and because of its heroic bearing in Morgan's last battle on the Ohio raid, was called by Gen. Duke the Bastion Regiment. Mr. Cowan was selected as one of the honorary pall bearers of his old comrade, MR. JOHN F. CASH, whom he had not seen since they separated on the field of that hard fought battle.
