Identity/Placement of John Thomas CASH (b. 1918) & Coroner A.M. Cash - Sptbg, SC
I recently came across a newspaper clipping from the Spartanburg Herald newspaper (7 Jan 1941) that mentions thirteen (13) separate Cash family members.
Most of these individuals are from my own family, but there are two mentioned, a John Thomas CASH and a (Coroner) A.M. CASH, whom I cannot place.
I've typed up a transcription of the article below, in which the names of the above-two 'mysterious' Cash's are emphasized.
So, how about it? Does anyone know how A.M. and John Thomas Cash fit into the larger Cash genealogy? I would appreciate any help or direction.
Thanks in advance!
P.S. I would be happy to share any info, or a .ged, of my family's Cash branch(es) with anyone who is interested. Just let me know through e-mail.

JOHN THOMAS CASH [emphasis mine], 28, was released Saturday in lieu of bond of $10 on a charge of drunkenness. Garnell Wilkins and Roosevelt McIntyre, occupants of the truck, were freed yesterday on a magistrate's order.
