				CHARLES E. McCAULEY, M. D. 

	A history of the medical profession of Aberdeen would be 
incomplete and unsatisfactory were there failure to make mention of Dr. 
Charles E. McCauley, one of the leading general practitioners of that 
city, of which he has been a resident since 1902. He was born in Cass 
county, Indiana, in 1875 and is a son of W. H. and Mary (Campbell) 
McCauley. The family moved to Watertown, South Dakota, in the fall of 
1879 and in the following spring the father took up government land 
near Ashton, farming upon this property until 1898. His wife has passed 
away and he now makes his home in Ashton.

	Dr. Charles E. McCauley acquired his early education in the 
public schools and later spent one year at the Dakota Wesleyan 
University at Mitchell. He then enrolled in Rush Medical College at 
Chicago and after three years began the practice of his profession in 
North Dakota, where he remained from 1899 to 1901. In the latter year 
he returned to Rush Medical College and was graduated from that 
institution in 1902. In the same year he located at Aberdeen and there 
has since engaged in general practice, winning the prominence and 
success to which his ability entitles him He is a capable and 
conscientious physician, careful in his diagnosis of cases and at all 
times watchful over the interests of his patients. Through his 
membership in the American Medical Association and the county and state 
medical societies he keeps in close touch with the advancement in his 
profession. In 1902 he served as president of the state society al I he 
is an ax-president of the Aberdeen District Medical Society, his 
ability being widely recognized in professional circles. 

	In 1899 Dr. McCauley married Miss Edith Boyer, of Ashton, South 
Dakota, a daughter of John Boyer, a pioneer in this state, who took up 
his residence here in 1882. Dr. McCauley is a thirty-second degree 
Mason, and is a member of the Shrine, and he is also affiliated with 
the Benevolent Protective Order of Elks, the Modern Woodmen of America 
and the Ancient Order of United Workmen. He is a close and earnest 
student of his profession, constantly broadening his knowledge through 
research and investigation until his ability places him today in the 
foremost ranks of the medical fraternity in his section.
