Dr. Harley D. Newby is a successful young medical practitioner of Parker, his native town where he has followed his profession since December, 1912. His birth occurred on the 12th of November, 1885, his parents being Isom H. and Libbie A. Newby, a sketch of whom appears elsewhere in this work. Harley D. Newby acquired his early education in the public schools and subsequently spent four years as a student in the University of South Dakota at Vermilion. In further preparation for a professional career he entered Rush Medical College of Chicago, which institution conferred upon him the degree of M. D. at the end of four years or in 1911. He then spent eighteen months as interne in the Cook County Hospital and in December, 1912, opened an office at Parker, where he has since built up a gratifying and remunerative practice, having manifested his skill and ability in the successful treatment of many different cases. With the advanced thought and work of the fraternity he keeps in close touch through his membership in the Yankton District Medical Society, the South Dakota State Medical Society and the American Medical Association. Since age conferred upon him the right of franchise Dr. Newby has cast his ballot in support of the men and measures of the republican party, believing firmly in its principles. His religious faith is that of the Baptist church, while fraternally he is identified with the Masons and the Independent Order of Odd Fellows. His interest in the development of his native state is deep and helpful and he well deserves a place among its representative citizens and rising young physicians.
