Thanks for the message. It's nice to meet a new cousin. Like you, I have been researching the Willis M. Cash family in Atlanta, and do have a copy of Mary Virginia Cash Waldrop's June 21, 1937 obituary which appeared in the Atlanta Journal. As you know, it is entitled "Woman Who Saw Battle of Atlanta Passes at Home of Daughter Here" and it provides detailed exerpts from her "Memoirs of Civil War Days: Search for Brother in North and Reconstruction Days Tribulations." My copy of the obituray came from my great grandmother Claudia Cash Appling, but she did not have or know who might have a copy of the memoirs. I am guessing that they might be with another family member, deep in the files of the Atlanta Journal (they had a copy when they wrote the obituray), or possibly were deposited with the Atlanta Historical Society or Georgia Archives. Another possibility is that Mary's memoirs may have been given to the United Daughters of the Confederacy (UDC), for she was active in the UDC for most of her life. I do have more Cash family history and we can discuss that off the site if you like. My e-mail address is GEORGEM523@aol.com

If anyone else out there has information on the Willis M. Cash family or the referenced memoirs, I would enjoy hearing from you.

Thanks,

George McCluskey
