Biography

Biography: "Cash" was the first child born to David Reeser and Clementine (Fur-
man) Whitehill. He was born at the family farm near Helen Furnace in
Highland Township, Clarion Co., PA. As a child he helped assemble
farm machinery that his father sold. At age 12 (or 16) he went to
live with his Uncle Cash Furman in Franklin, PA and learned the car-
penter trade. He served in France in WW1 in the AEF. His final rank
was a corporal in the Company F, 112th Infantry, 16th Pennsylvania,
Franklin, PA. He served two years, mustered out in 1919. When in France
he became an airplane engine mechanic.

Back in Franklin, PA he went to work as a chauffer/mechanic for the
banker Harry Lamberton. On June 1, 1921 he married Josephine Jane
Cummings. They had three children: Cassius Jr., John David and Enid
Louise.

After Harry Lamberton's death in 1931, Cash went to work at the Atlan-
tic Refinery in Franklin and then Polk State School as a heating plant
engineer. He was working there when he died of peritonitis from a
ruptured appendix at the age of 44. He is buried in the Franklin Cem-
etery in Franklin.

late David R. Whitehill and Clementine Furman Whitehill. He came to
Franklin at the age of 16, and had resided here since that time. He
had many friends, and was familiarly known as "Cash" by the hundreds
of persons that knew him.

During his World War service, he won recognition among his comrades as
"a good soldier, " and served virtually the entire time the United
States was engaged in the war. He went overseas with Company F, 112th
Infantry, when the local company left for France. He enlisted May 29,
1917, and was honorably discharged May 23, 1919, after serving over-
seas for a year and a half. He was a member of the Franklin Post No. 476,

Biography

Biography: Josephine Jane Cummings was born prematurely on Dec.29, 1899, a date
that made it posible for all to remember her age easily. She was so
small that her mother could put a teacup over her head and her mothers
ring over her hand as a bracelet. It was predicted she wouldn't live
and if she did she would probably "not be right". She has outlived
all her siblings, raised and supported a family after losing her first
husband, finally married again and lost him as well and continued to
support herself. She raised two boys and a girl; Cassius, John, Enid.
"Jo" attended Franklin High School where she graduated in 1918. She
worked as a bank teller in a Franklin bank. She met and married
Cassius F. Whitehill from Clarion Co., a chauffeur/mechanic for banker
Harry Lamberton. They spent all their married life living in and
around Franklin, PA. "Cash" Sr. died in 1937 and Jo went back to work
as a clerk and bookeeper at Polk State School in Polk, PA.

In October of 1944 she married Warren Martin Cook, originally from
Clearfield Co. PA. They had no children but Warren had a daughter
from his first marraige: Gertrude (Cook) Limber who now lives near
Carmel, CA. In 1948 Warren and Jo moved to Santa Rosa, CA where he
worked in a hardware store and she was a bookeeper in a clothing
store. Warren died in 1961 and Jo continued to work until 1972, at
which time she returned to Butler, PA where she lives with her only
daughter, Enid Spryn and husband Michael. Michael became terminally
ill so Jo went to a nursing home to live in 1992.
