**********
A civil and mining engineer, he attended Richmond College and the University of Virginia, leaving before graduation to go to work upon the death of his father. He attended Columbia School of Mines, leaving before graduation to superintend work for twelve years in silver and other mines in Zacatecas, Mexico and to work in Missouri and elsewhere on railroad and bridge projects.
He moved his family in 1904 to Cuba where he was in charge of the Camoa quarry and built many of the government docks which, when they survived a hurricane that wrecked many other buildings, garnered him praise from Cuban newspapers. The family lived in a house in the Vedado section of Havana. In 1914 they moved to Washington, where Crenshaw was turned down for the army due to his age and worked during World War I with the war risk bureau, where his wife Mary founded the translations section. He later worked for the postal service as a mailman.
