Kentucky: A History of the State, Battle, Perrin, & Kniffin, 6th ed., 1887,
Oldham Co.

CHANCELLOR M. CRUM was born in Oldham County, Ky., in 1858.  His father,
Jacob C., is also a native of Oldham County, but his grandfather was born
and reared in Indiana, and later removed to Kentucky, residing there until
his death.  Both were farmers.  Jacob lives on the Brownsboro Pike, and is
the owner of 800 or 900 acres of land in Oldham and Jefferson Counties.
Our subject's mother was Tryphena (Stoddard) Crum, daughter of C. E.
Stoddard, Pewee Valley, Oldham County.  The Stoddard family came originally
from Virginia to Kentucky.  C. M. is the second in a family of three
children, the other two being Pinkie E. and David Morris.  He was raised on
a farm, but was educated in Carlisle, Ky., from which place he graduated in
1875, in the commercial department.  After graduating he went to Chicago
and engaged as a traveling salesman for Palmer & Skelton, a wholesale
hardware firm, in which position he remained one year.  In 1880 he began
merchandising at Beard, Ky., his present home, as partner in the firm of
C. M. Crum & Bro., carrying on a general merchandise business.  Mr. Crum
is also postmaster at that place, and railroad agent for the Louisville &
Nashville Railroad Company.  December 4, 1885, he married Miss Mattie
Hughs, daughter of G. C. Hughs, of Frankfort, Ky., who is one of the oldest
and best known men in that city, and is at this time traveling salesman
with Steig & Riley, of Louisville.  The Hughses are from Virginia.  Mr.
Crum and his wife are both members of the church.
