				JOSEPH MARK WALSH, M. D. 

	Dr. Joseph Mark Walsh is successfully engaged in the practice of 
medicine at Fort Pierre and enjoys a merited reputation as an able 
representative of his chosen calling. His birth occurred at Yankton, 
Dakota territory, on the 27th of July, 1877, his parents being Edward 
John and Ellen (Melloy) Walsh who came to Yankton county in the late 
'60s and settled in the vicinity of Walshtown. 

	Dr. Joseph M. Walsh acquired his more specifically literary 
education in the schools of Yankton and Yankton College and 
subsequently prepared for the medical profession as a student in the 
University of Illinois, which institution conferred upon him the degree 
of M. D. on the 10th of May, 1905. Fort Pierre has since remained the 
scene of his professional labors, and his practice has steadily grown 
as he has demonstrated his skill and ability in coping with the 
intricate problems which continually confront the physician in his 
efforts to restore health and prolong life. 

	On the 24th of April, 1902, in Omaha, Nebraska, Dr. Walsh was 
united in marriage to Miss Jeanette Joslyn, a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. 
J. G. Joslyn, of Kingston, Wisconsin. They have a son, Francis Mark 
Walsh, who was born on the 10th of May, 1912; and a daughter, Bonnie, 
born March 11, 1914. 

	Dr. Walsh is a member of St. John's Lodge, No. 1, A. F. &; A. M., 
of Yankton. He is popular in both professional and social circles of 
his community and has won recognition as a worthy and valued native son 
of the Dakotas.
