				FREDERICK C. WILLOUGHBY, M. D. 

	Meeting all of the requirements of the successful physician, Dr. 
Frederick C. Willoughby now enjoys a good practice in Winfred and 
throughout his section of Lake county. He was born in Burr Oak, Kansas, 
on the 18th of October, 1876, and is a son of Henry and Mary (Coleman) 
Willoughby. It was m the year 1891 that the family arrived in South 
Dakota, settling at Hot Springs, since which time the father has been 
engaged in general farming and stock-raising, to which pursuits he 
still gives his attention. The wife and mother has passed away. 

	Dr. Willoughby was a youth of fifteen years at the time of the 
removal to this state. He pursued his high-school course in Hot Springs 
and did preparatory work in the Hot Springs College, after which he 
entered the Lincoln Medical College at Lincoln, Nebraska, being 
graduated therefrom on the completion of the regular course on the 8th 
of May, 1908, at which time his professional degree was conferred upon 
him. Immediately afterward he came to Winfred, where he opened his 
office, and in the intervening years he has built up a good practice 
and has been very successful in its conduct. He does all of the work in 
the neighborhood in minor surgery and as a physician is now well 
established among those whose ability entitles them to a liberal 
patronage. In addition to practicing medicine at this point, Dr. 
Willoughby is also proprietor of the Willoughby Hotel. He erected the 
hotel building in 1910-a well appointed hostelry containing twenty 
rooms. That it is capably and attractively conducted is indicated in 
the fact that it is liberally patronized by commercial men. 

	On the 12th of April, 1900, Dr. Willoughby was united in marriage 
to Miss Carrie Adamson, a daughter of David Adamson. They now have 
three children, namely: Ardith, Herbert and Harold. 

	Dr. Willoughby is a Congregationalist in religious belief and his 
political faith is that of the republican party. He holds membership in 
the Ancient Order of United Workmen and with the Modern Woodmen of 
America and the Royal Neighbors. He is interested in the local and 
state medical societies and through attendance at their meetings keeps 
in touch with the progress of the profession, which is continually 
bringing to light new truths concerning disease and the laws of health. 
Experience and reading arc continually bringing to him greater skill 
and he well deserves the practice that is accorded him.
