Rev. William Crawford Carden, a minister of the Methodist Episcopal church,
South, living at Chattanooga, was born in Cleveland, Tennessee, in 1846. His
parents were Leonard and Talitha (Hale) Carden, both of whom were descended
from ancestry represented in the Revolutionary war. Among his forbears were
the Cardens. Mitchells and Hales, all Virginia pioneers and all loyal in
their espousal of the cause of independence through that sanguinary conflict
which brought freedom [p.720] to the nation. Louis Hale of the same family
was a soldier of the War of 1812.

In his native city William Crawford Carden pursued his primary education and
later attended the Georgia Military Institute, while subsequently he joined
the southern army as a cadet at the siege of Atlanta. He served in the army
as a private from 1862 until 1865 and underwent many of the hardships
incident to military experience. When the war was ended he returned to
school and later took the conference course of the Methodist Episcopal
church, South. In 1872 he became a deacon and was ordained an elder in
October, 1874. His first charge was that of circuit rider at Sequatchie
Valley and for a year he occupied pastoral connection with the church at
Charleston. Tennessee. He spent a similar period at Athens. was for one year
at Knoxville, for three years at Ducktown and also at Franklin, North
Carolina. He later occupied pastorates at Waynesville, Jonesboro, Johnson
City and Morristown and through the succeeding four years he served at
Abingdon. Virginia, and Wytheville, Virginia. He was presiding elder at Big
Stone for four years and pastor of the church at Bramwell, West Virginia,
for three years. Then, his health failing, he was transferred to East
Chattanooga, hoping that a change of climate would prove beneficial, and for
three years he continued as pastor of the church at that place. In 1908 he
retired from active service but is still keenly interested in everything
that tends to upbuild the cause of Christianity and extend the influence of
the denomination with which he is identified.
