Charleston Evening Post, Saturday, June 26, 1971.
Charles Pinckney Cuthbert of 28 South Battery, a pioneer conservationist and well-known forester, died Friday at a local hospital.
Funeral services will be held at 3 p.m. Sunday in St. Philip’s Episcopal Churchyard. Burial will be directed by Connelley’s.
Mr. Cuthbert was born June 8, 1883, in Summerville, a son of Robert Barnwell Cuthbert and Mrs. Eloise Waities Mayrant Cuthbert. He was a member of St. Philip’s Church, the S.C. Historical Society and the Charleston Museum.
He was educated in schools of Charleston and Summerville.
For a while he managed great tracts of land in the Lowcountry including the Burton Lumber Company. He was woodlands manager for the extensive forest of the West Virginia Pulp and Paper Co.
He was instrumental in having laws passed protecting doe deer from hunters. He was instrumental in establishing the State Forestry Service, one of the first tree nurseries for reforestation in South Carolina and the erection of the first steel fire tower in the state.
He was an early advocate of forest fire prevention and was owner of the 3,000-acre Bulow Tract near Ravenel.
The late Herbert Ravenel Sass, novelist, historian and outdoor writer, once said “When the roll is made up of those who have done most for conservation in South Carolina, Charles P. Cuthbert will have a high place on it.”
Surviving are his wife, Mrs. Margaret Butler Rhett Cuthbert; a daughter, Mrs. John Ezzell of Nashville Tenn.; a son, Charles Pinckney Cuthbert Jr. of Sumter; three grandchildren and two great-grandchildren.
