While researching some of Laurel County’s notable African Americans, I came across a man named Henry Clay Tinsley, born on July 5, 1869, in Laurel County.
From humble beginnings as a farmer, coal miner, and clerk, Henry Clay Tinsley would become a well respected and successful teacher, physician, and surgeon specializing in eye, ear, nose and throat diseases and treatment.
