Henry Drury Hatfield, U.S. Senator and Governor of West Virginia. Henry
Drury Hatfield was named for Elder Henry Drury Halsey, a Primitive
Baptist minister, and comrade of Elias in the Virginia State Line.
Halsey often stopped and visited with Hatfield on ministerial trips into
Logan and Pike counties in the 1870s and 1880s. Buried in the Hatfield
Cem., Island Creek, Mingo Co., WV.
Compiled by the West Virginia State Archives
September 15, 1875 - October 23, 1962
(R) McDowell County
Elected governor in 1912
Henry Drury Hatfield was born on Mate Creek in present Mingo County, the
son of a Confederate soldier and nephew of Anderson "Devil Anse" Hatfield
of the Hatfield-McCoy feud. He graduated from Franklin College at age
fifteen and received his medical degree from the University of Louisville
at age nineteen. In 1904, Hatfield received a second medical degree, with
a specialization in surgery, from New York University. He worked as a
railroad division surgeon, mine physician, and as Mingo County health
commissioner. Due to the lack of proper health facilities in southwestern
West Virginia, Hatfield appealed to the legislature, which appropriated
funds for the Miners Hospital No. 1 in Welch, McDowell County. After
serving briefly on the McDowell County Court, he was elected to the state
senate and was chosen as its president in 1911. As governor, Hatfield's
first act was to dictate a settlement to the coal miners on strike in the
Paint Creek-Cabin Creek area of Kanawha County. His term in office was
marked by progressive legislation regulating health conditions. A state
department of health was created to enforce the existing public health
laws. He proposed one of the first workers' compensation laws in the
nation and regarded the passage of this law as one of his foremost
achievements. Other accomplishments included the establishment of a state
bureau of labor, state road bureau, election reform, and the improvement
of the mine safety program. He also supported tax increases on industry
which helped offset the cost of new services and the loss in revenue from
the state prohibition of alcohol, which went into effect in 1914. During
World War I, Hatfield entered the Medical Corps of the Army and attained
the rank of chief surgeon at an Army hospital in Detroit. From 1929 to
1935, he served in the United States Senate. He then returned to his
medical practice in Huntington and in later years maintained several
farms in the area. Hatfield died in Huntington in 1962.
