Dr. Henry Andrew Brandebury, son of William and Rose Ann (Noel) Brandebury, was born in Gallia county, Ohio, September 18, 1856. He received his early educational training in the district schools of his native county, and this discipline was later supplemented with a classical course in Rio Grande College, at Rio Grande, Ohio. For five years after leaving college he was principal of the Gallipolis high school, and in 1889 he was matriculated as a student in the The Medical College of Ohio at Cincinnati, from which he was graduated in 1891. Immediately after completing his medical course Dr. Brandebury came to Huntington, West Virginia, where he initiated the active practice of his profession and where he has since resided. He has had three post-graduate courses in Medicine in New York and Chicago. Dr. Brandebury is affiliated with the Cabell County Medical Society, the West Virginia State Medical Society and the American Medical Association, and his alma mater conferred upon him the degree of Master of Arts in 1900. In politics he is an uncompromising supporter of the principles and policies for which the Progressive party stands sponsor, and is at present (1912) the first chairman of a Cabell county executive committee of the Progressive party. He was the incumbent of the office of mayor of Huntington for two terms, from 1899 to 1901. He has also been a member of the city council for several terms and at the present time (1912) is a member of the citizens' board of Huntington.
Dr. Brandebury married in 1887 Ida Belle Haning, born at Albany, Athens county, Ohio, April 8, 1860, and died February 10, 1904. Mrs. Brandebury was graduated from Rio Grande College, Ohio, in 1883, and from Hillsdale College, Michigan, in 1885. She was the daughter of Ira Z. and Irene (Wood) Haning, her father being a free-will Baptist minister of note in southern Ohio for many years. They are the parents of two daughters: Helen Gertrude, studying at the University of Michigan, from which she will graduate (classical course) with the class of 1914; Henrietta, a graduate of the Huntington, West Virginia, high school, with the class of 1913, and will graduate from Marshall College, with that of 1914.
