Alonzo Richard Cudworth

Son of a prominent dentist, Cudworth enlisted in the Army in 1917 as part of the 32nd Red Arrow Division. On the fourth day of battle in France during WWI, Cudworth and two companions were killed when a howitzer exploded. In November, 1919, an American Legion Post which still operates today was dedicated to the memory of Alonzo Cudworth.
