Springhill Township The supervisors appointed Sandra T. Crimbly as the township’s tax collector Thursday after Crimbly’s husband, who was serving his third term in the position, unexpectedly died last month.

Ben P. “Butch” Crimbly Jr. died July 21 at the Ruby Memorial Hospital in Morgantown, W.Va., at the age of 61. Crimbly won the May primary for a fourth term for tax collector and would have run unopposed in the November general election.

His wife, Sandra T. Crimbly, will fill the remainder of his term, and her name will be on the ballot come November.

In other business, the supervisors announced they will finish paving Gans Hill School Road and plan to soon begin a paving project on Greater Point Marion and Nilan Hill roads with time and weather permitting.
