Uncle Cash was a very wonderful person with a great sense of humor. He was a Methodist minister and was an athlete at Wesleyan University in Lincoln, Nebraska where he went to seminary. He was a spiritual person and was always a wonderful example to me. I revered him highly! He married both my parents in his home in Farnam, Nebraska (Henry C.Hall and Willo Tanner (his sister), and my brother Jim Hall and his wife Linda Zimmerman. He was one of the finest men I ever had the privilege of knowing. He had lung trouble and it eventually lead to his untimely, earthly death at only age 60. The good Lord called him home to be with him just after he retired as associate pastor of the United Methodist Church in Scottsbluff, my home church. He had pastored churches in Morrill , Tekamah and many other places in Nebraska.
