Also see . . . Mineral County Medical History. “Dr. Green lived in that section of the county and gave medical service to the territory now comprising Elk District. Up until 1897, no State Examination was required by West Virginia. All one had to do to practice medicine in Mineral County was to register with the County Clerk and hang out his shingle.” (Submitted on April 16, 2016.)
