				LE ROY ANGEL, M. D. 

	Dr. Le Roy Angel, engaged in the practice of medicine and surgery 
at Montrose, was born at Moravia, Ohio, on the 15th of April, 1884. His 
parents are Le Roy Scott and Louise (Pabst) Angel, both of whom are 
living in Colorado, where the father is engaged in the real estate 
business. After enjoying the advantages afforded in the public schools 
Dr. Angel attended Fremont College of Nebraska, where he pursued a 
scientific course and also the pharmaceutical course, being graduated 
upon the completion of the former in 1904 and of the latter in 1905. He 
next entered the medical department of the Northwestern University at 
Chicago, where he pursued the regular four years course, and was 
graduated in June, 1910. He then had the benefit of two years, 
experience in Mercy Hospital at Chicago, where he put his theoretical 
knowledge to the practical test and gained that broad and varied 
experience which only hospital service can bring. Thus splendidly 
equipped for his chosen life work, he came to South Dakota in 1912 and 
opened his office in Montrose. Here he has met with a fair measure of 
success, gaining a goodly share of the public patronage. He belongs to 
the Sioux Valley Medical Association and he keeps in touch with the 
advanced thought of the profession through wide reading of medical 
journals and late publications. 

	On the 12th of June, 1912, Dr. Angel was united in marriage to 
Miss Irene McAuffie, a daughter of James and Anna McAuffie, of New 
York, and they have one son, James Lee. Dr. Angel is a Presbyterian in 
religious faith, while his wife is a communicant of the Catholic 
church. His political support is given to the democratic party, but he 
has neither time nor inclination for office, preferring to concentrate 
his energies upon his professional duties and through close and 
undivided attention to his chosen life work he is making steady 
advancement and has already gained a measure of success that many an 
older practitioner might well envy.
