Obituary

[NW Mailing List]

Lewis A. Creasy died Monday.   Vice President ?  Superintendent ?
Board member ?  No, Mr. Creasy was one of the up-through-the
ranks stenos.  In an era when female stenos were a "no-no" on
business cars, he worked in the General Offices and on the road
performing clerical assignments for the higher-ups.

He was six years old playing in a neighbor's yard when he saw
men coming to advise his mother of his father's death.  His 
father had been engineer on 1/51 from Shenandoah on Sept 10, 1923.
Double-headed with engines 1123-1114, 1/51 entered the Rockydale
Stone siding in Roanoke and collided with cars on that track.  
ICC Report #982 indicates the switch had not been properly closed.

He was a deacon emeritus at Calvary Baptist Church and had
served as Assistant to Vice President H. E. Carter . . . .for ten years.
