LONZO EDWARD 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 [sic] 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.
