Charles Walter Croushorn, dairy farmer in Prince William County for most of his life,was the 3rd son of James Wm. Croushorn and Alice B. Swartz Croushorn.

He was married to Florence Baker Croushorn on 24 December 1934 at a parsonage in Washington, D.C. She lived for many years after Charles' passing in 1970.

Children: Edward Lee Roy (Buddy) Croushorn; Betty Lee Croushorn Mayhugh; James William(Jimmy) Croushorn; Charlottte Marie Croushorn Snyder; and Charles Walter(Charlie) Croushorn.

Uncle Charles and his wife were members of Brentsville Presbyterian Church where I think his funeral service was held and where he was known for being a church leader, for his generosity and gift of making all feel welcome. He and his wife Florence enjoyed feeding ministers, missionaries, and others in their home, and many have spoken years later of the hospitality of Charles and his wife Florence includin the well-known Presbyterian minister Dr. Wynn, an early pastor of their church.

Uncle Charles was survived in 1970 by his sister Evalena Croushorn Heflin of Catlett; and his brothers Roscoe Clinton Croushorn of Nokesville and William Frederick Croushorn of Bealeton.

He was born in Augusta County at Weyers Cave and had moved to Fauquier County near Catlett with his parents and siblings at the age of eight where he grew up. He was also a graduate of Calverton High School. For more than 35 years he'd run a dairy farm in Aden and just prior to his death in Catlett. At one time he'd also worked as a dispatcher at the sheriff's department in Prince William County.

Uncle Charles was witty, charming, talkative, friendly, engaging, and could be a great teaser. He loved to watch sports on television while entertaining his sister and her family, and he was a great cook who, after his mother died when he was a young fellow, took over cooking for his father and siblings. He took care of others more than he considered his own welfare.
