Leroy Lowell Parke was a medical doctor and gave this account of himself:
"I was 3 months old when South Dakota was made a state, 3 Nov 1889, along with North Dakota, Montana and Wyoming. I grew up in South Dakota. I went to this little country school, graduated, and went to Canton High School, from there entered the Medical School of the University of Illinois, 1909-1913. In the fall of 1910, my roommate and I attended the Methodist church reception for students. There we both met our future wives. His played the church organ and mine sang in the choir."
