William Crutchfield
William Crutchfield (November 16, 1824 – January 24, 1890) was an American politician who represented the 3rd congressional district of Tennessee in the United States House of Representatives for one term (1873–1875). He also served several terms as an alderman in his adopted hometown of Chattanooga, where he was a prominent figure and businessman. A Southern Unionist, he garnered regional fame and notoriety in January 1861 when he engaged in a heated debate with future Confederate States president Jefferson Davis at his family's Chattanooga hotel.
==Early life and career==
Crutchfield was born in Greeneville, Tennessee, the son of Thomas Crutchfield, a brick contractor, and Sarah (Cleage) Crutchfield.〔 He attended common schools. He moved to McMinn County, Tennessee, in 1840, and remained there for four years before settling in Jacksonville, Alabama, in 1844.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://bioguide.congress.gov/scripts/biodisplay.pl?index=C000961 )〕 He established a large farm at Jacksonville that specialized in grain production and utilized innovative farming techniques. He was also elected a captain in the local militia. Inspired by Kentucky politician Henry Clay, he supported local Whig Party candidates.〔"(William Crutchfield )," ''Goodspeed's History of Tennessee'', 1887. Accessed at the Hamilton County Genealogical Society website, 27 February 2015.〕
In 1850, Crutchfield moved to Chattanooga, Tennessee, where his father had acquired a considerable amount of land, and had established a successful hotel, the Crutchfield House. After the elder Crutchfield died in 1850, William's brother, Thomas, took over the hotel's management.〔Oliver Perry Temple, Mary Boyce Temple (ed.), "(William Crutchfield )," ''Notable Men of Tennessee'' (Cosmopolitan Press, 1912), pp. 109-113.〕 William was elected alderman in Chattanooga in December 1851, and reelected in 1854.〔Gilbert Govan, "William Crutchfield," ''The Lovingood Papers'', Vol. 1 (1962), pp. 15-17.〕 In the late 1850s, he helped establish the city's fire and police departments.〔''(Public Acts of the State of Tennessee Passed At the First Session of the Thirty-Second General Assembly for the Years 1857-8 )'' (G.C. Torbett and Company, 1858), p. 357.〕
