WILLIAM E. HERNDON, physician, P. O. Moorefield, Nicholas County; was born
at Weston, Nicholas County, Ky., Feb. 21, 1856, to Thomas C. and Miranda J.
(Craycraft) Herndon (see history). William E., our subject, received a
common school education in Bourbon and Nicholas Counties, and in 1876
entered upon a three years course in the Medical University at Louisville,
Ky., where his diligence and close attention to his studies soon made him
a general favorite and placed him at the head of his class, which position
he maintained throughout the course, and at the time of receiving his
diploma, March 1, 1879, he was one of the number called upon for the honors
of the class, which numbered 350. In May of the same year, he located at
Moorefield and entered upon the duties of his profession with the same
zeal that characterized all his efforts, and soon gained a position that
can only be attained by a thorough knowledge and strict attention to his
calling. He has gradually grown in the favor of the community and now has
an extensive practice, the duties of which would fall heavily upon the
shoulders of man many years his senior. During three years practice, he
has lost but two patients. He was married Dec. 18, 1879, to Miss Edna A.
Howe, who was born in Moorefield, Nicholas County, Ky., Sept. 7, 1863, to
William H. and Mary F. (Robertson) Howe (see history). Our subject owns
the house and lot in Moorefield where he resides. He is a very energetic
and enterprising man, and possesses all the natural qualifications
necessary in gaining the good will of all. His political ideas are
Democratic.
