Mr. Ford helped build park
As a young man, Stanley Lindsay Ford helped build General Butler State Park.
Thirty years later, he became a ranger at the park.
''I think that's why he always liked working there, because he was there when they built the place,'' said his son, Gary Lee Ford of Carrollton.
Mr. Ford, 82, died Thursday at his home.
Mr. Ford's roots in Carroll County ran deep. He helped build the park as a member of the Civilian Conservation Corps, a Depression-era program created to relieve unemployment.
Even after serving with the Army in England, Italy and Africa during World War II, there was nowhere he wanted to live other than the county his family had called home for generations.
He grew up on a farm. As an adult, he lived in Carrollton.
After retiring from the park in the 1970s, he worked as a security guard at M&T Chemical, now called Atochem. He retired from that job in the early 1980s.
In his retirement, he indulged his passion for history, especially the Civil War, checking out at least two books a week from the library.
''He read about 20 hours out of 24 every day,'' his son said. ''He was a history hound.''
Mr. Ford was a member of Carrollton Christian Church and the American Legion.
Other survivors include his wife, Helen Esther House Ford; a daughter, Marsha Dee Konkle of Madison, Ind.; a brother, Ulysses A. Ford of Carrollton; one granddaughter; and two great- granddaughters.
Services will be at 2 p.m. Sunday at Tandy-Eckler-Riley Funeral Home, Carrollton, with visitation from 5 to 9 tonight.
Burial will be in Carrollton IOOF Cemetery. Memorials are suggested to the church.
