    From the Estate of Charles Edward Courtney (November 13, 1849 – July 17, 1920) he was an American rower and rowing coach from Union Springs, New York. A carpenter by trade, Courtney was a nationally known amateur rower. Courtney never lost a race as an amateur and finished a total of 88 victories.
    In 1877, Charles moved from an amateur to a professional rower, a decision that Courtney would later regret. His professional career was marred by controversy and accusations including cowardice and race fixing. His professional career was best remembered for his controversial losses to Ned Hanlan.
    As his rowing career wound down, Courtney became involved in coaching at Cornell University. He coached Cornells rowing team from 1883 to 1920. His crews won 14 of 24 varsity eight-oar titles at the Intercollegiate Rowing Association Championship Regatta. Charles kept his position until he died in the summer of 1920.
    1892 Cornell University Varsity rowing team included: F. W. Kelley, C. J. Barr, C. F. Wagner, W. S. Dole, A. W. Marston, G. P. Witherbee, E. G. Gilson, T. Hall, E. P. Allen
