				GEORGE OGLE, M. D.  

	Dr. George Ogle, physician and surgeon of Colton, enjoys a 
gratifying practice and a merited reputation as a skilled and able 
representative of his profession. His birth occurred in Norway on the 
3d of November, 1863, his parents being Haakon and Gertrude Ogle. The 
father, who followed agricultural pursuits throughout his active 
business career, has passed away, but the mother survives.  

	George Ogle obtained his education in Christiana, Norway, where 
he attended private school and Christiana University. He also received 
his professional training there, completing a course in medicine in 
1901. In that year he emigrated to the United States and came direct to 
Madison, South Dakota, where he opened an office and continued in 
practice for three years. During the next three years he followed his 
profession at Arlington, this state, and subsequently removed to Nunda, 
South Dakota, where he remained for two and a half years. On the 
expiration of that period he returned to Madison, which city has 
remained the scene of his professional labors, until he removed to 
Colton, where since May 15, 1915, he has practiced in partnership with 
Dr. P. D. Bliss. He belongs to the Sioux Falls Medical Society and the 
Northwestern Medical Society and his close conformity to a high 
standard of professional ethics has gained for him the unqualified 
regard of his brethren of the medical fraternity.  

	In September, 1904, Dr. Ogle was united in marriage to Miss 
Sophia Sannum, her father being Christian Sannum, who is still living 
in Norway. Our subject and his wife have two children: Haakon, a school 
student; and Reidar. In his political views Dr. Ogle is a republican, 
while his religious faith is that of the Lutheran church. He is a man 
of domestic tastes who finds his greatest happiness in home life, but 
is also a lover of the out-of-doors and finds recreation in hunting. He 
takes a keen interest in everything pertaining to the general welfare 
and to the growth and development of South Dakota, being an 
enthusiastic admirer of his adopted state, which finds in him a valued 
and representative citizen.
