SAMUEL D. GREENE, M. D.

   A leading physician of Saratoga, Wyoming, and one of the rising professional
men of the state is Dr. Samuel D. Greene, who was born at Ottawa, Ontario,
Canada, on February 11, 1867, the son of John and Ellen (Leewey) Greene, the
former a native of Canada and the latter of Ireland. The paternal grandfather
was a native of Scotland, and came to America from his native country in the
early part of the nineteenth century. He was a British soldier of the War of
1812, and after the termination of that conflict, he engaged in agricultural
pursuits in Ontario. His son John Greene was long engaged in lumbering in his
native country of Canada, and retired with a competency some years ago. He now
makes his residence at Arnprior, Ontario. Dr. Greene attained manhood in his
native city of Ottawa, and there acquired his elementary education in the public
schools. When he had completed his preliminary preparation, he matriculated at
the Queen's University, at Kingston, and pursued a special course of study for
about two years, when he entered the medical department of the same institution.
After completing his course he was graduated in the class of '90, with the
degree of M. D., C. M., and entered upon the practice of his profession at
Bancroft, in County Hastings, Ontario. He remained here for about three years,
meeting with marked success, then disposed of his practice and removed to the
town of Arnprior, where he continued in practice for about five years, when he
located in Nebraska. Remaining here about six months, he removed to Rawlins,
Wyoming, where he opened an office and was engaged in successful practice for
about one year. In the year 1899 he disposed of his practice at Rawlins and
removed to the city of Saratoga, Wyo., where he has since made his home and been
continuously engaged in medical practice. He has been uniformly successful, has
built up a large practice in Saratoga and the surrounding country, and has an
extended reputation. Fraternally the Doctor is affiliated with the Knights of
Pythias, holding the position of prelate in his local lodge; and with the
Fraternal Order of Eagles, and the Modern Woodmen of America, of which he is the
physician. He is the examining physician for the New York Life Insurance Co.,
and the Mutual Life Insurance Co., of New York, and is often called in
consultation by physicians in other sections of the state. He is a hard student,
thoroughly familiar with the most modern theories and treatment of disease,
having the fullest confidence of the people in the community where he maintains
his home and is deservedly popular with all classes of people.
