[1] He received a Bachelor of Arts degree from Union University in Tennessee in 1857 [2] and became a minister.  The Rev. Crichlow also sold insurance. A  Kentucky newspaper, in 1892, reported under Salem news that “Rev. W.B. Crichlow, our local insurance man, also represents some fine companies, both fire and life.”[3]

W.B. Crichlow and Miss Kate H. Shelby married 13 March 1879 in Livingston County. At that time, the Rev. Crichlow reported his residence as Caseyville [Union County, Kentucky]. [4]  

Catherine “Kate” Shelby was the daughter of R.S. Shelby and E.R. Frayser.  Her father was born in Livingston County and her mother was born in Cadiz, Kentucky[5]

William B. and Kate Crichlow first appear together on a census in 1900. At that time, they were living in Salem. Included in their household were two sons, Shelby Crichlow, age 20, and Dick, age 17. [6]

 A short death notice for W.B. Crichlow appeared in the Louisville Courier-Journal in 1923. It stated he died at his home in Salem and was survived by his widow and two sons. It also stated he served as a chaplain in the Confederal Army. [7]
