He was born in Codys, New Brunswick, the son of Thomas Hetherington and Violet D. Thorne. He studied medicine at the Chicago Homeopathic Medical College and Rush Medical College. In 1894, he married Anna H. Lancey. In 1906, he retired from medicine and returned to New Brunswick. Hetherington was a prominent freemason. He served as Speaker of the Legislative Assembly of New Brunswick from 1919 to 1920 and as Provincial Secretary-Treasurer (Minister of Finance) from 1921 to 1925, when he was defeated.[1]
