Roy Crawford, mayor, first fire chief of Sanders
Roy D. Crawford was always looking for a new challenge.
As a teen-ager, he built the first radio in his rural Sanders community, then took up music and mastered the guitar, banjo, piano, organ and saxophone.
For a while, repairing electronics, TVs and appliances excited him. Then, bored, he moved to Indiana and built dams for the Army Corps of Engineers.
When he returned several years later, he became both mayor of Sanders, and chief of its first fire department, which he helped establish.
"Daddy was a very unsettled person," said a daughter, Janet Cayton of Carrollton. "He was the type of person where if his job or life wasn't challenging him, he had to move, had to get involved in something else.
"He was a borderline genius."
Mr. Crawford died at 6:35 a.m. Monday at King's Daughters Hospital in Madison, Ind. He was 72.
He grew up in Sanders with a sister and
five brothers. He kept busy fiddling with electronics and playing in bands.
"He could hear a song, then turn around and play it without ever learning to read music," Ms. Cayton said.
"I think he even played on a Cincinnati TV show once or twice, playing guitar and singing. He was a member of various bands in his day."
He married his wife of nearly 40 years, Doris Crawford, in 1927 and the couple had their first of three children in the late 1930s. Mr. Crawford ran TV and appliance repair shops in Warsaw and Carrollton, Ms. Cayton said.
In the 1960s, Mr. Crawford worked for the Army Corps of Engineers in Mt. Vernon, Ind., where he helped construct a dam. After about five years, he moved back to Sanders and became mayor.
"I think he did that because he saw needs in the small town and nobody wanting to take charge," Ms. Cayton said.
One of the first things he did was acquire the grants he needed to get a fire de
partment in Sanders. He became the first chief of the volunteer fire fighters.
"The nearest fire department was in Ghent, about 15 miles away, and it took so long for them to get to Sanders, he decided there was a need for one in town," Ms. Cayton said.
Mr. Crawford also got grants to build a ball park and sewer lines in Sanders.
After he retired from his administrative post with the city, Mr. Crawford, who divorced in the late 1960s, spent much of the rest of his life visiting his many friends around the country. He was a member of Sanders Baptist Church and Warsaw Masonic Lodge.
Other survivors include daughter, Patsy Gayle of Yuma, Ariz.; a son, David Crawford of Sanders; six grandchildren and five great-grandchildren.
Services will be at 11 a.m. Thursday at Graham-Dunn Funeral Home, Carrollton. Visitation will be from 5 to 8 p.m. Wednesday at the funeral home. Burial will be in Ghent Masonic Cemetery.
