Charles C. Sapp, April 1953 - April 1955
The next mayor, C. C. Sapp, was born Nov. 17, 1887, came to Corsicana in 1928 as a foreman with the Southern Pacific Railroad, lived with his wife Dagmar, at 1105 West Thirteenth Avenue. Also he was a representative for one of the railroad labor unions. Frequently involved in controversy, he was a rugged individualist and quite a character, was not averse to liquid stimulants or fisticuffs in the commission room, sometimes was crosswise with other law enforcement officers, was upset mainly because the pressure of local politics bothered him. But he was a conscientious man and tried to do a good job. In 1953 he installed the 500,000 gallon water tank in Zions Rest and dug an underground water storage tank on South 12th Street. He pumped water out of Chambers Creek to Lake Corsicana and re-pumped it to Lake Halbert to meet the water shortage. And he rebuilt the bridge on North Beaton Street. He died Dec. 7, 1963. A son, Charles, Jr., is a lawyer in Houston.
