    HON. FRANK M. BYRNE was born in Volney, Iowa, October 23rd, 1858, and

received his education in the public schools.



    In 1879, immediately after his majority he came to Sioux Falls, Dakota

Territory. The following year he located a homestead in Grant township, McCook

county. In 1888 Mr. Byrne became a resident of Faulk county. Two years later,

1890, he was elected state senator to the first South Dakota legislature.



    In 1898 he was elected county treasurer for Faulk county and re-elected to

the same office in 1900. In 1906 Mr. Byrne was again elected senator from the

thirty-fifth senatorial district, composed of Faulk and Potter counties, and

through that session of the legislature his duties were so successfully and

satisfactorily performed that he was re-nominated and elected to succeed himself

in 1908.



    In the legislature of 1909 his senatorial duties were so faithfully

performed that it is safe to predict that the intelligent and far seeing

constituency that have so cordially and heartily given him their support, will

not permit him to retire from public life.



    Mr. Byrne is a self made man and occupies an enviable position socially,

financially and politically among his fellow citizens; a man of sound judgment,

large experience and yet a comparatively young man. He certainly has a bright

future before him.



    In April, 1888, he was united in marriage with Miss Emma Beaver of Kenton,

Ohio. To them have been born five children, viz: Carroll, Francis, Malcolm, Joe

and Emmons.



    Mr. Byrne is engaged in the real estate business with his office on Court

street in the city of Faulkton, where he commands the confidence and respect of

the entire community.
