				HOLLAND T. GROUND, M. D. 

	Among the younger members of the medical profession who have 
gained prominence and success in their chosen field is numbered Dr. 
Holland T. Ground, who since 1909 has been engaged in practice at 
Aberdeen. He was born in Indiana on the 7th of September, 1883, and is 
a son of Dr. William E. and Dolly (Birch) Ground, the former of whom 
has been in practice in Superior, Wisconsin, since 1891. 

	Dr. Holland T. Ground acquired his early education in the public 
schools and afterward attended the University of Wisconsin. He was 
graduated from the medical department of the University of Illinois in 
1907 and afterward spent one year as interne in a Chicago hospital, 
following this by one year on the staff of the Hospital for the Insane 
at St. Peter, Minnesota. With this excellent preparation he located at 
Aberdeen for the practice of his profession in 1909. His ability in his 
chosen calling is pronounced and he has a large and representative 
patronage, which has grown steadily with each year of his residence in 
Aberdeen. 

	In 1910 Dr. Ground married Miss Grace McDonnell, a native of 
Evanston, Illinois. Dr. Ground is a member of the Roman Catholic 
church, is connected fraternally with the Knights of Columbus and gives 
his political allegiance to the republican party. He belongs to the 
American Medical Association and the county and state medical societies 
and through his membership in these bodies keeps in touch with the most 
advanced medical thought. He stands high in professional and social 
circles and has the confidence and esteem of all who know him.
