History and stories about Cane Valley and the Cane Valley Bank The Village was still very active as a thriving commercial center in the 1930s and 1940s. A two story brick building in downtown Cane Valley once housed a bank, a barber shop, and had living quarters upstairs. According to Mr. Albert Woodrum, Cane Valley historian, at one time there were four filling stations, a Post Office, five stores, a stove factory, a school, bank and a garage and five churches which had 'Cane Valley Church' in their names Click on headline for full story plus photo(s) By George Rice Cane Valley was a very active village in the 1930s and 40s as related by Cane Valley historians Bill Watson and Albert Woodrum. They remember the bank being managed by Mr. Banks Hancock as president and Norene Cofer as teller. Mr. Ty (Tyler) Tupman, Bob and John Will Sublet were directors. They said that each day Mr. Tupman would bring a basket of eggs to the bank and sell them to the bank customers. The upstairs was a meeting place for the Masons to hold their meetings. The back of the bank building had a door and a very small room that was used for a barber shop run by a Mr. Edd Wilson. They say that he pulled more hair with his clippers than he cut. His fee for a hair cut was 25 cents. A story of interest was that there was a local drunk in the habit of nipping the bottle too much and causing disturbance within The Valley. The impact of the explosion caused the lock on the bank vault to malfunction and the bank management had to send for a lock expert from Louisville to repair the lock on the safe. Mr. Watson still has some blank checks on the Cane Valley Bank. During the depression of the early 1930s the bank went under. Mr. Cortez Sanders from Louisville, KY was the caretaker President and CEO for a short time. That bank safe was bought my Mr. Kenneth Cundiff and at present is in the City Supply store, owned by Mr. Kenneth Cundiff's brother, Nolen Cundiff. Mr. Buddy Sewell was a long time owner of the bank building and operated a garage across the road from the bank. Mr. Bobby Webster is the present owner of the building now. There are occupied living quarters in the upstairs. According to Mr. Woodrum at one time there were four filling stations, a Post Office, five stores, a stove factory, a school, bank and a garage and five churches which had "Cane Valley Church" in their names.
