				ANDREW H. HOYNE, M. D.  

	Dr. Andrew H. Hoyne is a leading physician and surgeon of McCook 
county, South Dakota, who has practiced in Salem continuously since 
April, 1907. He is numbered among the worthy native sons of this state, 
his birth having occurred in Turner county on the 20th of March, 1877. 
His parents, Nels L. and Dorothea (Christenson) Hoyne, were born, 
reared and married in Denmark. About 1867 they crossed the Atlantic to 
the United States, locating in Racine, Wisconsin, and in 1873 came to 
South Dakota, homesteading a quarter section of land in Turner county. 
Subsequently Nels L. Hoyne also took up a tree claim and later bought 
other land, owning at the present time an entire section. He is now 
living retired in Centerville, Turner county, and is a well known and 
highly esteemed citizen of the community which has been his home for 
more than four decades.  

	A. H. Hoyne was reared under the parental roof and began his 
education in the public schools. Subsequently he pursued a four years 
course at Yankton College of Yankton, South Dakota, and completed his 
studies in Colorado College of Colorado Springs, Colorado, from which 
institution he was graduated in 1901 with the degree of Bachelor of 
Philosophy. He then followed the profession of teaching for one year 
and in 1902 took up the study of medicine, entering the Sioux City 
College of Medicine, which institution conferred upon him the degree of 
M. D. in 1906. Dr. Hoyne next served a year's internship in St. 
Joseph's Hospital of Sioux Falls and in April, 1907, located in Salem, 
where he has practiced continuously throughout the intervening eight 
years. He belongs to the Mitchell Medical Society, the Sioux Valley 
Medical Society, the South Dakota State Medical Society and the 
American Medical Association. He keeps thoroughly informed as to the 
latest advances in medicine and surgery and indeed it is doubtful 
whether any of the younger physicians in the state have a more 
favorable outlook at the present time than Dr. A. H. Hoyne.  

	On September 29, 1909, he was united in marriage to Miss Alice 
Mielke, of Salem, a daughter of William and Elizabeth (Glaser) Mielke. 
Dr. and Mrs. Hoyne have one son, Robert Maclay, born July 2, 1915. 
Fraternally he is identified with the Woodmen of the World, the Ancient 
Order of United Workmen, the Knights of Pythias, Fortitude Lodge, No. 
73, A. F. & A. M. and Salem Chapter, No. 34, R. A. M. He is popular in 
both social and professional circles in his community and by 
conscientious service in his chosen calling has gained just recognition 
as one of the most successful medical practitioners in McCook county.
