[Hon. Raymond Dodson, A.B., LL.B.
Raymond Dodson, son of Dr. E. H. and Lucy B. (Fetty) Dodson, was born at Glenville, Gilmer County, West Virginia, October 28, 1880. After attending the public schools of his native county for several years he matriculated as a student at the State Normal School at Glenville and remained there until he mastered all the branches contained in its curriculum; graduated from the Department of Arts and Sciences of the West Virginia University in 1901, receiving its highest scholastic degree — that of Bachelor of Arts. He then read law and later attended the West Virginia University and took the complete law course of study, graduating with honor in 1903, receiving the degree of Bachelor of Laws. He located at Spencer in Roane County; was admitted as a member of the Circuit Court Bar of that county September 7, 1903, and has since practiced in that and the adjoining counties in all the State and Federal Courts, with greater than anticipated success. While he is familiar with all branches of the law, and has cases therein, he has specialized in oil and gas cases, representing as their attorney several oil and gas companies, and is himself largely engaged in the oil and gas business. He is, therefore, thoroughly familiar with all the State statutes and court decisions pertaining thereto. He has practiced in a number of important special cases in Ohio, Pennsylvania and Kentucky, because of his special knowledge of those difficult branches of the law. Mr. Dodson has succeeded in his practice in securing the confidence of the people of his own county and throughout that section of the State. He is proud of his profession and ambitious to excel in it, but like many young lawyers he has a liking for politics. Being a pronounced Republican he allowed his party to nominate him in 1916 for a seat in the State Senate, and was elected. Being a ready debater he took an active part in the discussions that arose on the floor of the Senate, and thus made himself an influential member of that body of the Legislature. He is firm and decided in his political opinions, and tenacious to party attachments, but he is courteous to his political adversaries, and tempers his zeal with such discretion as to never render himself personally obnoxious to his opponents. His Senatorial term is for four years, and the chances are that he will make a record before it ends, and thus add additional allurements to his political experiences.
When younger in years than he now is, he was Captain of a company of the West Virginia National Guard, and demonstrated many admirable soldierly traits of character. October 27, 1910, he was united in marriage to Miss Nelle Rachel Smith, of Charleston, West Virginia. They have one child — Dorothy Annette, who was horn October 25, 1912. He is a Ruling Elder of the Presbyterian Church; is a Mason, a Knight of Pythias and a member of the Delta Tau Delta Greek Letter College Fraternity. His home is in the city of Spencer, where he is well and favorably known. His portrait shows him to be of good stature and commanding presence.
He is not only a successful lawyer, hut he is also an enterprising business citizen, deeply interested in the development of his section of the State.]
