After the family was grown, they moved to Grangeville and for many years lived on the place south of town which is now owned by Dr. D.J. Soltman. Following the death of their daughter, Mrs. Annie Leach, they moved to her home in town where they lived until Mr. Cash passed away in 1946. She was a member of the Baptist Church.
