Mr. Algood, 90, of Columbia, TN, died Wednesday, January 16, 2019.
Charles was born and raised in Philadelphia, Neshoba County, Mississippi on February 22, 1928. He was the sixth child born to the late Aaron Lafayette ‘Fate” Algood (1890-1967) and Bessie Jones Wood (1899-1986).
He graduated from Philadelphia High School in 1945 and began his military career on June 25, 1945 by enlisting in the U.S. Marine Corps. After his initial training at Paris Island, SC, he reported to Camp Pendleton, CA only to be transferred to the 1st Marine Division in Tientsin, China working as a payroll clerk. In late 1947, the 1st Marine Division was withdrawn from China back to Camp Pendleton. After completing his service commitment in January 1948, he enrolled at Mississippi State College (University), Starkville. Deciding that college was not his forte, he re-enlisted in the Marine Corps in August 1949 and re-joined the 1st Marine Division at Camp Pendleton as an amphibious truck (DUKWS) driver. This Marine Division would soon deploy to participate in the Korean War. On September 15, 1950 he took part in the Marine amphibious invasion and battle at Inchon (Operation Chromite) that resulted in a decisive victory and strategic reversal in favor of the United Nations. He also participated in other Marine amphibious operations during that conflict. Following the Korean War, he was assigned to the 1st Marine Corps Reserve and Recruiting District, Marine Recruiting Sub Station, Lancaster, PA.
After a short assignment, in 1955 he was transferred to the 1st Amphibious Truck Company, Camp McGill, Japan. In June 1956 he returned stateside and was assigned to the Marine Corps Service Support Schools, Marine Corps Base, Camp Lejeune, NC where he transitioned from amphibious trucks to combat supply. In early 1961, he transferred to the Marine Corps Supply Depot in Philadelphia, PA. In January 1965, he was assigned to Camp Smedley D. Butler, Okinawa. He rotated back to the states in January 1966 and was assigned to the Inspector/Instructor Staff, Company D, 4th Military Police Battalion, US Marine Corps Reserve Training Center, Lexington, KY. In April 1969 he was given his only family accompanied tour that assigned him to Marine Aircraft Group-24, 1st Marine Brigade, Marine Corps Air Station, Kaneohe Bay, HI. This assignment was cut short and he was again assigned to the Marine Corps Service Support Schools at Camp Lejeune in January in 1972. His last overseas assignment was another 12 month deployment to Camp Smedley D. Butler 1974. He culminated 28 years of distinguished service when he retired from the Marine Corps on March 22, 1975. He returned to Mississippi to Build a home in Kemper County and worked at the U.S. Motors plant in Philadelphia until he retired in 1993. His service decorations include the Marine Corps Good Conduct (with 1 Silver and 2 Gold Stars), the China Service Medal, the World War II Victory Medal, the National Defense Service with Bronze Campaign Star, the Korean Service Medal, the United States Korea War Service Medal, the Presidential Unit Citation with Bronze Campaign Star and the Presidential Unit Citation-Korea.
Charles’ favorite activities were coin collecting, vegetable gardening, “power” walking when he could, and exploring his family genealogy. He actively pursued leads that documented the family history, continuing what his father began with the annual Wood Family Reunion.
Survivors include his sons, Cary (Robin) Algood of Waldorf, MD, David Lamar (Lucia) Algood of Houston, TX and James Aaron (Pam) Algood of Columbia, TN; eight grandchildren; four great- grandchildren; sisters, Bernice Algood Ryan of Alexandria, VA and Doris Algood of Jackson, MS; brother, Roy Lamar Algood of Pensacola, FL; and a host of nieces and nephews.
Preceded in death by his wife of over 56 years, Katherine Breazeale Algood (1929-2011); sisters, Zelma Ruth Algood (1917-1937) and Ethlyn Algood (1925); brothers, Chalmers Kirk Algood (1918-1984), Harvey Wood Algood (1920-1924) and James Otis Algood (1923-1924).
