**********Lieutenant Charles Glenn Crittenden*********
It is with the deepest sorrow and regret that the news of the death of Lieutenant Charles Glenn Crittenden was received by the Georgia State Board of Entomology. This excellent young man is another of those who gave his life for country in time of need.
Lieut. Crittenden; entered Mansfield Normal School Mansfield, Pennsylvania in 1904, graduated in 1909; entered Cornell University in 1909, graduated in 1913, B.S. Degree.
For a number of years Lieut. Crittenden was connected with this department as Plant Pathologist, and in this capacity rendered efficient and valuable service in the discharge of all duties of his office.
At the entrance of the U.S. in the World War, he volunteered his service to his country, receiving indefinite leave of absence from the Georgia State Board of Entomology. He entered the First Officers Training Camp at Fort McPherson, Georgia, on May 15, 1917, graduating from there with distinction and was commissioned second Lieutenant on Aug. 15, 1917, being assigned to the First Division, Battery E, Seventh Artillery. In a short time he went overseas with his division.
On Oct 2nd, 1918, while gallantly defending the cause of liberty with his battery at Argonne Forest, a mile and a half north of Very, he was severely wounded and died at midnight of the same day and was buried at Cheppy (Meuse) France.
Lieut. Crittenden was a young man of high ideals and quickly earned the confidence and esteem of all those privileged to associate with him. In his death the Georgia State Board of Entomology has lost one of its most efficient workers, and henceforth his name will be lovingly held in our memories as one who freely placed his all on the altar of liberty, and we wish to here express our deepest sympathy to his family.
We, the Georgia State Board of Entomology, deeply feeling the loss in the death of Lieut. Crittenden wish to express recognition of our esteem of his ideals, efficiency and faithfulness to this Board.
Therefore be it resolved, that a copy of these resolutions be transcribed on the minutes of this Board in his memory.
Be it also resolved, that a copy of the same be sent to his bereaved family
Charles was the son of Shubel Edgar Crittenden (1855-1933) and Ida Viola Rowlee Crittenden (1856-?)
He had married Aug 17, 1917, in Thomasville, Georgia, May Hawthorne Crittenden.
