WALTER C. CANN. One of the prominent members of the banking circles of central Kentucky is Walter C. Cann, the able and efficient cashier of the First National Bank of Horse Cave, Hart county, who has spent his entire business career in this bank and is recognized as a man of sound judgment and wise discrimination in handling the affairs of that institution. He was born at Monroe, Kentucky, on the 10th of April, 1893, and is a son of John and Leona (Bale) Cann, both of whom were born in Hart county; the latter now living in Louisville. John Cann, whose death occurred at Rowlett’s, Kentucky, had spent his life in mercantile affairs, gave his political support to the democratic party and was a member of the Cumberland Presbyterian church. Leona Bale Cann is a daughter of James L. and Ellen Bale, the former of whom was born in Green county, this state, devoting his life to farming pursuits, and died in Hart county. He was a member of the Cumberland Presbyterian church and voted the democratic ticket. His wife was born in Green county and her death occurred there.
Walter C. Cann graduated from the Auburn high school in 1910 and then entered the First National Bank of Horse Cave as bookkeeper. In 1914 he was made assistant cashier and in 1919 was elected cashier, which position he now holds. In September, 1917, he enlisted for service in the World war and went into training at Camp Taylor, Louisville. Subsequently he was transferred to Camp Merritt, at Hoboken, New Jersey, and in September, 1918, was sent to France with the Three Hundred and Twenty-sixth Field Artillery, which became a part of the Eighty-fourth Division. Mr. Cann served oversees six months and in April, 1919, was honorably discharged at Camp Taylor, as supply sergeant. He is a member of the board of directors of the First National Bank and is secretary and treasurer of the Ocean Breeze Company of Horse Cave.
On February 22, 1914, at Horse Cave, Mr. Cann was united in marriage to Miss Jessie Craddock, of Munfordville, Kentucky, where she was born July 10, 1893. She is a daughter of Berry Carter and Alice Green (McCarty) Craddock, the latter of whom was born in Hart county in 1855 and died in Munfordville in 1919. Berry C. Craddock was born in 1836 and died in 1896. He served in the Union army throughout the Civil War, being a lieutenant in Company L, Twenty-first Regiment Kentucky Volunteer Infantry. After the war he became identified with the F. A. Smith Packing Company, of which he was treasurer for many years. He served four years as master commissioner of Hart county and was afterwards engaged in mercantile affairs in Munfordville until his death. He was a republican, who took an active part in local public affairs, and was a member of the Methodist Episcopal church. His father, William (“Buck”) Craddock, who was born in Virginia and came to Hart county in young manhood, here spent the remaining years of his life, became a successful farmer, was eminently public-spirited and wielded a wide influence in his community.
Mrs. Cann received her education in the public schools, graduating from the high school at Elizabethtown. She is an active member of the Baptist church and its societies, the Order of the Eastern Star of Horse Cave, the White Shrine of Jerusalem at Glasgow, Kentucky, and belongs to the Woman’s Club. Mr. Cann is a democrat, but votes independently. A member of the Baptist church, he is superintendent of the Sunday School. He is active in the operations of the Chamber of Commerce and takes a deep interest in everything concerning the prosperity and welfare of Horse Cave. Fraternally he is connected with the Bear Wallow Lodge, NO. 231, A. F. & A. M.; Horse Cave Chapter, R. A. M.; Glasgow Commandery, K. T.; and Kosair Temple, A. A. O. N. M. S., at Louisville. Of kindly manner and pleasing address, he enjoys a wide acquaintance and is deservedly popular throughout the community.
