Businessman Cash dies; funeral 2 p.m. Tuesday
Clovis G. Cash, 86, of Augusta died Sunday, Nov. 20.
His funeral will be at 2 o’clock Tuesday afternoon, Nov. 22, at the First Baptist Church, State & Kelly. Rev. Bob Box will officiate.
Clovis was born Dec. 27, 1901 to Henry H. and Martha J. Cash near Stanford, Ky.
His parents came to Kansas in 1906 and resided on a farm near the Haverhill and Fairview communities. Following the father’s death in 1908, the family moved to Augusta.
Immediately after graduation from high school, Clovis was employed by the George W. Brown & Son State Bank from 1919 to 1929. Following this he was manager of the First National Bank Insurance Agency until 1933 when he purchased the agency and operated it under his own name.
Clovis soon expanded the business to include real estate and home loans. He also engaged in oil well drilling and oil production in Butler, Cowley and Sumner counties with partner, the late Harold U. Martin. He retired from the oil business in 1956, but continued other businesses.
At various times he was a director and president of the Augusta Chamber of Commerce, a member of the Augusta United Way board, and served on the school board. He was one of the co-developers of the Park Place subdivision in Augusta. He was an original stockholder and director of the Augusta Bank & Trust, later selling his interest. He was a co-organizer and director of Copeland Acid Service. During the planning stages of the Augusta Medical Complex he served on the hospital board.
Clovis, a long time member of the First Baptist Church, had served on various boards including the building committee of the present structure and was an honorary deacon. He was a member of Kiwanis Club since 1926, having served as lieutenant governor in 1935 of Division Six, a 3-state area.
Because of his continued interest and support of LeTourneau College in Longview, Texas, Clovis and his wife were named members of the LeTourneau College Council in 1970.
He was a member of the Mystic Tie Lodge 74 AF & AM of Augusta and the Scottish Rite Bodies of Wichita Consistory.
Survivors include his wife, Gladys; two daughters, Jo Janette Casey and Carolyn L. Price, both of Augusta; four grandchildren, Lisa Bowman of Littleton Colorado, Karen Casey of Wichita, David Price of Denton, Texas, John Price of Shawnee, Okla.; one great-grandchild, Kyle Bowman of Littleton; sister, Mrs. Ida Perkins of Tampa, Texas; and four nieces.
Memorials have been suggested to Alive in Missions of the Augusta First Baptist Church and Cal Farley’s Boys Ranch, Box 1890, Amarillo, Texas, 79174-9989.
Dunsford Funeral Home of Augusta has the arrangements.
