TitleMr J.H. Cash (1865-1951)DescriptionMr J.H. Cash, a son of the pioneer after whom Cash's Crossing was named. Joe (Joseph Henry) Cash (1865-1951), the youngest son of James and Mary Cash, was born at the South Pine River. James (ca. 1803-1870) had settled on land on the south bank of the South Pine River around 1851. He later wrote to the Lands Commissioner requesting that he be permitted to buy 100 acres on which he had erected improvements. In 1858, an area of 86 acres was surveyed as an extension to the Bald Hills Subdivision. At this time, the Surveyor, James Warner, recorded that Cash had two buildings, two stockyards and a large garden on the river flat. During the following year, by purchasing the area on which he and his family were living and running cattle, Cash became the first freehold land owner in the Pine Rivers Shire. As Cash's home stood on a rise overlooking the South Pine River alongside the main road leading northwards from Brisbane, his establishment became legendary for the hospitality the family provided to passing travellers. After marriage in 1909 to Mary Margaret Parrin, Joe Cash continued to live on a portion of the original Cash homestead property in a cottage built from timbers taken from the original slab cottage.Dateca. 1930sRecord typePhotographFormat typePhysicalOriginal format colourBlack and whiteNotesPublished in the newspaper the Brisbane Courier, Saturday, 5 April 1930, p.11.
