Captain Crenshaw Dead

Georgia Succumbs to Wounds Received in the Philippines

Atlanta, Aug. 28 – Captain Frank Crenshaw died early this morning at Elkin
sanitarium, where he had been carried upon his return to Atlanta for treatment
of a wound received in the Philippines.

The body was carried to the state capitol where it will lie in state until
tomorrow morning, when it will be carried to LaGrange for interment.

Captain Crenshaw returned to Atlanta several days ago and submitted to an
operation for the bullet wound in his head.  The physicians had little hope of
his recovery, but he remained cheerful to the last, believing that he would get
well.

He had lain for weeks in the hospital in Manila before being sent on the
homeward voyage.

He was Captain of Company A., Twenty-Eighth United States volunteer infantry. 
Captain Crenshaw was a gallant soldier and brought home with him a superb sword,
which he personally captured from a colonel of the insurgents.
