-------------------------------------------
 Taylor Hatfield was a legendary lawman in Pike County, serving as Chief 
Deputy under several sheriffs, of both parties. His son, Howard, was an 
outstanding athlete at Belfry(class of '57), who was top security officer 
with the N&W railroad. The reason Howard was so tough was that when they 
came to Blackberry for family get-togethers, he'd have to whip 2 or 3 
Dotsons at a time. He generally got the job done.

---------------------------------------------
Taylor and Cash both died of colon cancer, Cash in '53, at only 43, and 
Taylor in '55. Taylor and his nephew, my Uncle Ransom Dotson, were both 
born in 1900, and both died in 1955. Those two--both 200 pounds of 
muscle-- "kept the peace" in Uncle Ancie Hatfield's place in Matewan back 
during the mine wars. Next to losing my Dad in a mine accident, he 
saddest thing I remember from growing up was Uncle Taylor, at the old 
W'mson Memorial Hospital, holding Cash, who was down to about 110 pounds, 
in his arms and taking a shower with him. The big man cried.
