Married Mary Ann Stapleford in Kosciusko County, IN on Dec. 9, 1845.
1850 Residing Warsaw, Kosciusko Co., IN. Crihfield, Andrew B., 39; Mary A., 32; Stapleford, Elizabeth, 23; Hoak, Minerva, 12. Occupation: physician
Anecdote:
The first physician to impress himself upon me as a youth was the late Dr. A. B. Crihfield. He was already in Warsaw and engaged in the practice of medicine when the family of the writer reached this county and made it their home. Dr. Crihfield was a splendid specimen of physical manhood, and at that early period had a little square, one-story, frame building with just one room in it for an office. It was located on Center street on the ground that Grabner's hardware store covers.
Besides being of fine physique, Dr. Crihfield was a very pleasant, genial gentleman and possessed among other attributes the ability to laugh, when anything tickled him, about as loud as most horses can neigh! He was exceedingly popular among the people and had a wide practice, his charges being very remarkably low in price. There is a story told of him in this particular that does not tally with the charges of the present-day Esculapius, although we hear of no complaint of over-charges among the fraternity.
Crihfield had been called out to Elihu Davis' home, about six miles southwest of Warsaw, and found him in the high fever that follows the chill from a clear case of "fever'n ager," and after dishing out some medicine and leaving a prescription for the wife to follow, Davis, just before he started, asked him the price of his bill. With his usual horse-laugh, and a jest or two, he replied: "Give me a half-dollar and let it go at that!" It was instances like this that not only made him very popular, but secured for him the largest practice of any doctor in the place at a very early period.
