				HARRY J. ROBB, M. D. 

	Among the younger representatives of the medical profession in 
South Dakota is Dr. Harry J. Robb, a physician and surgeon of 
Flandreau, where he located in June, 1915, wishing better hospital 
facilities than he had previously had. His birth occurred in Detroit, 
Michigan, on the 6th of October, 1881, his parents being James and 
Margaret Robb, who still survive. He acquired a public-school education 
in his youth and subsequently prepared for a professional career as a 
student in the Chicago College of Medicine and Surgery, from which 
institution he was graduated in 1913. After spending a time in hospital 
work he came to South Dakota, and in August, 1913, opened an office at 
Colton, where he successfully engaged in practice until his removal to 
Flandreau. A gratifying and well merited patronage is accorded him, for 
he is a young physician and surgeon of ability who is rapidly gaining 
prestige as a representative of the profession. 

	As a companion and helpmate on the journey of life Dr. Robb chose 
Miss Adelma L. Kellogg, a daughter of Edward B. and Nancy Kellogg. They 
now have two children, Merle and Harry. The Doctor gives his political 
allegiance to the democracy. He is fond of outdoor sports and finds 
needed recreation in indulging therein.
