The History of West Virginia, Old and New
Published 1923, The American Historical Society, Inc.,
Chicago and New York, Volume II, page 234
LONZO EDWARDS STEELE, M. D., is established in the active general practice of
his profession at Logan, judicial center of the West Virginia County of the
same name, where for the past ten years he has had a heavy professional practice
in connection with leading coal mining corporations in this section. He was
also one of the founders of the admirably equipped Logan Hospital, which has
proved of inestimable value in providing proper hospital facilities in
connection with mining operations.
Doctor Steele was born on a farm east of Williamson, Mingo County, on Tug River,
June 2, 1880, Mingo County at that time having been still a part of Logan County.
He is a son of Harrison and Nancy (Hatfield) Steele, the father having been a
successful farmer and also identified with the timber industry in this section
of the state, and his father, John Steele, having been a loyal soldier of the
Confederacy in the Civil war. Valentine Hatfield, maternal grandfather of
Doctor Steele, likewise gave valiant service as a soldier in the war between
the states. Doctor Steele has one brother and one sister: S. E. is a farmer
on Tug River, and Eliza is the wife of Scott Browning, a merchant at Meador.
Doctor Steele is indebted to the public schools for his early education, and at
the age of seventeen years he became a teacher in a rural district in Mingo
County. He continued teaching four years, and in the meanwhile substantially
advanced his own education through the medium of private study and attending
select schools during the summer vacations. In 1900 he entered the medical
department of the University of Nashville, Tennessee, and in this institution
he was graduated in 1904, with the degree of Doctor of Medicine. For a year
thereafter he served as an interne in the City Hospital of Nash, Kentucky,
and thus fortified himself further by valuable clinical experience. He has
since taken effective post-graduate courses in the Hospital College at
Louisville, the celebrated New York Polyclinic, as well as in the New York
Post-Graduate Medical College. He has availed himself also of the clinics
of the great Mayo Brothers Hospital at Rochester, Minnesota, and those of
leading hospitals in the City of Chicago.
In 1906 Doctor Steele established himself in practice at Holden, Logan County,
as physician and surgeon for the United States Coal & Oil Company, now known
as the Island Creek Coal Company. In the same year he established his residence
and professional headquarters at Logan, the county seat, where he has since
continued his able and loyal service as a skilled physician and surgeon. In
1915 he became associated with Doctor Farley in rebuilding and thoroughly
modernizing the Logan Hospital, which they have since conducted with
unqualified success. Doctor Steele is identified with the Logan County
Medical Society, the West Virginia State Medical Society and the American
Medical Association, and in the Masonic fraternity he has received the
thirty-second degree of the Scottish Rite.

Record for Nancy Jane Maynard Valentine Hatfield Info Valentine "Uncle Wall" Hatfield, the elder brother of "Devil Anse" was overshadowed by Devil Anse's ambitions but was one of the eight convicted to end the feud. He died in prison of unknown causes. He had petitioned his brothers to assist in his emancipation from jail, but none came for fear of being captured and brought to trial. He was buried in the prison cemetery which has since been paved over. bobbiejenkins04added this on 7 Jun 2012 mcmillen1961originally submitted this to McMillions (McMillens) - Virginia To Illinois on 17 Jul 2009 ________________ A memory of meeting Mary Hatfield early 1941-1943 , Williamson WV The link between the famous Hatfield family of West Virginia and the Blankenship line within our family occurred when Mary Hatfield, daughter of Valentine and niece of Devil Anse, married Richard Blankenship in January 1893. My mother's family used to vacation often to Williamson WV and her older brother Sherman remembers meeting Mary Hatfield. He recalls an old woman seated in a rocker, smoking a corn-cob pipe and spitting chewing tobacco in the general direction of several spitoons around the small house. This discription of the lady fits well with others I have found. bobbiejenkins04added this on 26 Jan 2013 pekovichoriginally submitted this to Pekovich on 21 Dec 2007 _________________________________ Mary Hatfield Info Mary filed for divorce after Richard killed a man and went to prison. Mary took the name Hatfield and renamed her children with the Hatfield last name. bobbiejenkins04added this on 15 Mar 2010 mcmillen1961originally submitted this to McMillions (McMillens) - Virginia To Illinois on 25 Aug 2009
