Notes for Archie Craft: The following obituary is from The Mountain Eagle newspaper dated 4/11/2001, page 1: Craft, 90, opened three funeral homes in Letcher Funeral services were held Monday in Lexington for Archie Craft, 90, a longtime political figure in Letcher County, who died April 7 in Lexington. Craft and his wife, Virginia Reese Craft, who survives him, were prominent in Letcher County civic and Democratic political affairs for many years before they moved to Lexington in the early 1960's. He was born in Millstone and was a son of the late William Wiley Craft and Mary Wright Craft. He was a nephew of the late Dr. B. F. Wright, a power in Letcher County Democratic politics for many years. After teaching for a brief time in the Letcher County school system Craft and his wife founded and operated three funeral homes and other business interests in Letcher County. He was elected state senator from Letcher and Perry counties and was a confidant to several Kentucky governors. Craft developed a close friendship with Gov. Bert Combs, and one of the great disappointments of Craft's political career was Combs's failure to keep his commitment to put a University of Kentucky community college in Letcher County. After an announcement that the school would be in Letcher County, Hazard political interests persuaded Combs to locate the community college at Hazard where it remains. Craft served as federal marshal during the administrations of Presidents John F. Kennedy and Lyndon B. Johnson. Craft was a lifelong director of the Bank of Whitesburg and became a charter organizer of the Bank of Lexington after he moved to Lexington. Craft was a member of the Shriners and Masonic Lodge and other philanthropic organizations. The Crafts celebrated their 69th wedding anniversary recently. Survivors besides his wife are a daughter, Shirlee Reeves, Louisville; two grandsons and two great-grand-children. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Southland Christian Church, P.O. Box 23338, Lexington, KY 40523. |
