				HIRAM I. KING, M. D. 

	Dr. Hiram I. King, a prominent and successful physician and 
surgeon of Aberdeen, has built up an extensive and remunerative 
practice during the years of his residence here. He was born in Spring 
Green, Wisconsin, in 1882 and is a son of Owen and Helen (Weston) King. 
He acquired his early education in the public schools of his native 
city and later entered Northwestern University, Chicago, Illinois, from 
which he was graduated in medicine in 1905, serving afterward for two 
years as interne in the Alexian Brothers Hospital, that city. In 1907 
he began the general practice of medicine and surgery, locating at 
Aberdeen, South Dakota, where he has remained continuously to the 
present time, enjoying a lucrative and constantly growing practice. As 
a member of the American Medical Association, the American College of 
Surgeons, and the county and state medical societies he keeps in touch 
with the trend of modern advancement in his profession, of which he has 
remained always a close and earnest student. In 1914 he took a post-
graduate course at Vienna, Austria, and is a member of the surgical 
staff of St. Luke's Hospital, Aberdeen. 

	In 1910 Dr. King was united in marriage to Miss Jessie Pardon, of 
Wisconsin, and they have become the parents of two children. The Doctor 
is a member of the Roman Catholic church, gives his political 
allegiance to the democratic party and is connected fraternally with 
the Knights of Columbus, the Order of Foresters, the Knights of the 
Maccabees, and the Benevolent Protective Order of Elks. Both he and his 
wife are popular in social circles and possess many sterling 
characteristics which win them the regard and confidence of all who 
come in contact with them.
