Their children were Frank, Faye, and Hazel Hatfield. Maude died when the bad flu epidemics went through the area, probably in early 1920. She was listed with the family in the 1920 census, which was taken in January.
1920 Mingo Co census, p 114-01A, #2:
HATFIELD, Howard, 46, Blacksmith
Maud, wife, 33
Frank, son, 8
Fay, dau, 6
Hazel, dau, 2-5/12.
Hazel told about how their father Howard raised his three children by himself and sent them through school at Gilbert, then Concord College at Athens. She doesn't remember her father ever smiling in her younger days, but he was always there for them. He did everything - milking, washing, ironing, mopping, and cooking. He made biscuits every morning and braided the girls' hair before school, then he went to his blacksmith's shop after the kids went to school.
Howard married his second wife Allie Fletcher in 1935, and there's a shared stone in the cemetery for all three of them, Howard, Maude, and Allie.
