At the time of his defeat in the 2004 election, Crane was the longest-serving Republican member of the House. Crane was born in Chicago, Illinois, the son of Cora Ellen (née Miller) and George Washington Crane III, a physician and college professor. He was educated at Hillsdale College, the University of Vienna, and Indiana University Bloomington, where he received a PhD in history in 1961. Crane served in the United States Army. He also attended DePauw University and the University of Michigan. Crane was a faculty member at Indiana University Bloomington and at Bradley University in Peoria, a staff member for the Republican National Committee and a director of research for the 1964 Republican presidential candidate Barry Goldwater. His brother Dan Crane served alongside him as the Congressman from another Illinois district for three terms. Another brother, David Crane, ran for Congress from Indiana a few times simultaneously with Phil and Dan.
