George Washington Cash (March 31, 1841 – May 6, 1912)[1] was an American merchant for whom Cash Corner, in today's South Portland, Maine, is now named.[2]
Cash was born to Stephen Cash and Elizabeth Palmer, both natives of Cape Elizabeth, Maine.
He was an apprentice with N. Hasty, a cooper in Portland. He was also a peddler of goods.
In 1864, Cash married Olivia A. Littlefield, with whom he had eleven children: Alice, Henry, Dwight, Herbert, Eleanor, Christena, Bessie, Georgia, Chester, Cathleen and Harold. At least four of them died in infancy.
In 1870, aged 29, he became a grocer at Cash Corner, in today's South Portland, Maine, which is named for him and his brother, fellow merchant A. J. Cash.[3] [4]
Cash died in 1912, aged 71. He was interred in Brown's Hill Cemetery in South Portland, beside his wife, who predeceased him by five years.
