				H. H. SHERWOOD, M. D. 

	Dr. H. H. Sherwood, physician and surgeon of Humboldt, where he 
has practiced continuously and successfully since 1910, is entitled to 
recognition among the able representatives of the profession in 
Minnehaha county. His birth occurred in Shabbona, Illinois, on the 12th 
of January, 1872, his parents being. Frank O. and Lucinda E. (Helm) 
Sherwood, the former a native of Ohio and the latter of New York. Their 
marriage was celebrated in Illinois, to which state they removed as 
children with their respective parents when it was still a frontier 
region. 

	H. H. Sherwood was reared at home and pursued his education in 
the public schools of Shabbona, Illinois, completing the high-school 
course with the class of 1888. Subsequently he secured employment in a 
Chicago drug store and in 1892 entered the School of Pharmacy of 
Northwestern University, being graduated therefrom in 1894. He then 
opened a drug store in Woodhull, Illinois, and conducted the same 
successfully until 1897. In the fall of that year he took up the study 
of medicine, matriculating in the College of Physicians and Surgeons, 
the medical department of the University of Illinois, which institution 
conferred upon him the degree of M. D. in 1901. His first location as a 
medical practitioner was at New Windsor, Illinois, where he followed 
his profession successfully for three and a half years. On the 
expiration of that period he pursued a post-graduate course of six 
months in Chicago and afterward practiced in Bowen, Illinois, until 
1910. In that year he located in Humboldt, South Dakota, and has there 
since remained, having built up an extensive and gratifying practice 
during the intervening five years. He is a member of the Seventh 
District Medical Society of South Dakota, the Sioux Valley Medical 
Society, the South Dakota State Medical Society and the American 
Medical Association. Anything that tends to bring to man the key to the 
complex mystery which we call life is of interest to him, and he 
conforms his practice at all times to a high standard, of professional 
ethics. 

	In 1897 Dr. Sherwood was united in marriage to Miss Bertha Kyler, 
of Kirkwood, Illinois, by whom he has two sons, Kenneth K. and Richard 
H. In politics he is an independent republican and now serves as a 
member of the board of trustees of the town of Humboldt. Fraternally he 
is identified with the Masons, belonging to the following 
organizations: Bowen Lodge, No. 486, A. F. & A. M., of Bowen, Illinois; 
Horab Chapter, No. 4, R. A. M., of Rio, Illinois; Galesburg Commandery, 
No. 8, K. T., of Galesburg, Illinois; and El Riad Temple, A. A. O. N. 
M. S., of Sioux Falls. His religious faith is indicated by his 
membership in the Congregational church, of which he is a trustee and 
to which his wife also belongs He holds to high standards and enjoys in 
large measure the confidence and trust of those with whom he is brought 
in contact in every relation of life.
