Creighton G. Logan
Creighton G. Logan city detective.
One of the best known police officers in this section of the country, passed away Sunday, March 13, 1932, at 5 a.m. at the Jameson Memorial hospital where he had been for the past week. He had not been in the best of health since the first of the year and his final illness was the culmination of a sickness suffered at that time.
Associated for approximately 25 years with the city police department, as well as having served as county detective and in other lines of duty that had to do with police work, he had conducted the work of his chosen profession on the highest standard and in such a manner as to earn for him the concern of all with whom he came in contact. His passing from life leaves a place in the police circles of the city that will be hard to fill.
His first work along the lines of his life work was that of a deputy sheriff, he being appointed to that position when he barely reached his majority.
Served His Country
He served his country in the Spanish-American war and the Philippine Rebellion with company B, Tenth Pennsylvania volunteer infantry, seeing extensive service in various scenes of activity in those memorable wars. Detective Logan first served on the New Castle police force during the administration of Mayor M. Louis Habner, and was lieutenant of police. In 1907, when Attorney Charles H. Young became district attorney, Logan was named as county detective and served in that capacity for three years, prior to joining the city police force later.
Breaks Up Blackhand
It was during the period of his incumbency as county detective that he gained widespread prominence in his chosen profession, for it was during that period of time that the black hand society, which had been so active in the Hillsville district, was broken up through the activities of the district attorney, County Detective Logan and others associated with them.
He was named as city detective during the last two years of the administration of Mayor Walter Tyler and had continued in that position up until the time of his death.
Mr. Logan was born July 20, 1876, at Pittsburgh, the son of Richard and Fannie Grey Logan. Practically all of his life was spent in this city. He was a member of Trinity Episcopal church and New Castle lodge No. 21, Fraternal Order of Police.
He leaves his wife Mrs. Emma E. Logan, one daughter Miss June Logan, and two brothers Richard, and attorney Edwin K. Logan, both of this city.
Funeral services will be held Tuesday, March 15, 1932, at 2:00 p.m. at the family residence, 12 West Wallace avenue, with Rev. Philip C. Pearson, rector of Trinity Episcopal church, in charge. Interment will be made in Oak Park cemetery. Please omit all flowers.
