				LYLE HARE, M. D.  

	Dr. Lyle Hare, a well known member of the medical profession in 
Spearfish, was born at Cedar Rapids, Nebraska, November 26, 1885, a son 
of Joseph and Louise S. (McFee) Hare, natives of Canada, the former 
born in Montreal and the latter in Hemingford. They were married in 
their native country and crossed the border into the United States 
about 1874. After residing for a time in Illinois they removed westward 
to Albion, Nebraska, and thence to Cedar Rapids and still later took up 
their residence at Hemingford, Nebraska, being the first family to 
locate there. They resided there for a number of years, or until 1889, 
when they removed to Hill City, South Dakota, where the father is 
engaged in the newspaper business. He also operates a farm and is one 
of the enterprising residents of that locality, exerting a strong 
influence upon public thought and action. He served for one term in the 
state senate and was also a representative from Pennington county for 
three terms. He has thus left the impress of his individuality upon the 
laws of the state and has labored loyally for the interests of the 
commonwealth. He rendered military service in Canada during the Fenian 
raid and has recently received a badge of honor in recognition of his 
services for the Canadian government.  

	Dr. Hare, the fifth in order of birth in a family of seven 
children, attended the public schools of Hill City, South Dakota, and 
the State Normal school at Spearfish, from which he was graduated with 
the class of 1907. He then entered the University of South Dakota and 
completed his course with the class of 1909. Broad literary learning 
thus served as an excellent foundation upon which to build the 
superstructure of his professional knowledge. He was a student in the 
College of Physicians & Surgeons of Chicago, in which he completed his 
course in 1911. While attending school he was employed at intervals and 
thus paid for the expenses of his education, alternately working and 
studying until he had completed his course. He then entered the 
University Hospital of Chicago, in which he spent a year; in feet he 
began his hospital work before he had finished his school work and in 
his training there gained the broad and valuable experience which only 
hospital service can bring. At the end of a year he went to Spearfish, 
South Dakota, where he opened an office and has since engaged in 
private practice. His ability soon become widely recognized and a 
liberal patronage has always been accorded him. He is also a teacher of 
physiology and hygiene ill the Normal School at Spearfish, is athletic 
director of the school and is physician for the Homestake Mining 
Company at Spearfish. He devotes his entire time to his profession as 
teacher and practitioner.  

	On the 19th of August, 1911, was celebrated the marriage of Dr. 
Hare and Miss Edna Stone, who was born in Orange City, Iowa, a daughter 
of Fred and Alta (Leggett) Stone, who were long residents of Hawarden, 
Iowa, where the father engaged in newspaper work for a time. He 
afterward removed to Sioux Falls, South Dakota, and was there employed 
in the post office. His wife passed away in Sioux Falls, August 29, 
1906. Mr. Stone has always been a democrat in his political views but 
has never aspired to office. His daughter, Mrs. Hal e, is president of 
the Women's Club of Spearfish and occupies a prominent position in 
social circles of the city. She likewise holds membership in Kappa 
Alpha Theta and belongs to the Eastern Star. She attended the 
University of South Dakota.

holding membership in the Phi Delta Theta and the Nu Sigma Nu. They 
attend tee Congregational church and the Doctor is a Mason, belonging 
to Spearfish Lodge, no. 18, F. & A. M. Along strictly professional 
lines his connections are with the County Medical Society, the District 
Medical Society and the South Dakota Medical Society. He keeps in touch 
with the advanced thought of the day in the line of his chosen calling 
and is continually promoting his ability by wide reading and
