Virginian Pilot June 1 1909

                   JOHN W. CASHIN DIES AFTER BRIEF ILLNESS
          Well Known Citizen Prominent in the Government of Norfolk

After a week's illness, culminating in hemorrhage of the stomach, John W. 
Cashin, forty-six years old, a member of the Board of Aldermen, died on Sunday 
morning at the residence of his father, Martin Cashin, 461 Church Street.
Mr. Cashin had been sick only a week and many of his friends did not know of it 
at all. News of his death came to them, therefore, as a severe shock.
Mr. Cashin was a native of Norfolk. He was widely known here. He was a member of 
the city council and held important positions on three council committees, the 
Ordinance, Public Improvement and City Hall committees.
He is survived by a daughter, Miss Mamie Cashin, his father, Martin Cashin and 
two sisters, Misses Mary and Maggie Cashin.
Mr. Cashin had membership in the Hibernians and the Elks. These organizations 
will attend the funeral this morning at 10 o'clock from St. Mary's Catholic 
Church, of which he was a member.
Out of respect to Mr. Cashin as a city official an escort of honor from the 
police department will attend the obsequies. Major Kizer instructed Captain 
Cuthriel of the Second Precinct station yesterday afternoon to detail a squad to 
attend the funeral.

                   POLICEMAN PAY TRIBUTE TO ALDERMAN J.W. CASHIN
Handsome Floral Cross To Be Placed on Bier - Friend of Policemen
As a tribute of esteem which the members of the police department bore Alderman 
J.W. Cashin, a handsome floral design will be laid upon the grave today when the 
body is laid to rest. The tribute was given by all the members of the 
departments. The arm of the cross is entwined with flowers, spelling the words 
"Rest in Peace."
Mr. Cashin has for years been a loyal friend of policemen and the members of the 
department feel his death keenly and as one man voted to lay upon the bier of 
their friend a token of love and esteem.
