His birth occurred in Clarksville, Iowa, on the 25th of January, 1873, his parents being Hiram and Euphemia (Gabby) Newman, who were natives of Ohio and Pennsylvania respectively. The lather made his way to Iowa in 185S, covering the distance of ninety miles from Dubuque to his homestead on foot and becoming one of the pioneer agriculturists of the state. His demise occurred in 1909, when he had attained the age of eighty-two years, while his wife passed away in 1912, when sixty-nine years old. They became the parents of five children, of whom our subject was the fourth born. His surviving sister, Mary, is the wife of Oscar Heiserman, of West Union, Iowa, and he also had two half brothers: Frank, who is deceased; and Granville, a resident of Vienna, South Dakota. Fred McPherson Newman acquired his early education in the grammar and high schools of his native town and subsequently attended the University of Iowa for two years, while later he spent a similar period as a student in the Northwestern University of Chicago, which institution conferred upon him the degree of M. D, in 1903. He had devoted two years to preparatory work in Darnell College of Mount Vernon, Iowa, and acquired a liberal education through his own efforts, earning the money with which to pay his expenses. Well qualified for the practice of his chosen profession, he opened an office at Rembrandt and at the end of a year went to Stacyville, Iowa, where he spent another period of twelve months. In 1905 he removed to Presho, South Dakota, which place has since remained the scene of his professional labors and where he has been accorded a gratifying and growing practice that now covers a territory many miles in extent. He is widely recognized as an able and successful representative of the profession and keeps in close touch with its steady advance through his membership in the district and state medical societies and the American Medical Association. The financial success that has come to him is indicated in the fact that he is now the proprietor of Presho's largest drug store and also owns a half section of land in Lyman county. On the 29th of June, 1904, Dr. Newman was united in marriage to Miss Maggiebell, daughter of Edward Lonie, of Stacyville, Iowa, They have two children, Fred Kenneth and Ruth Nedra. Politically the Doctor is a progressive republican but at local elections casts an independent ballot. His fellow townsmen have honored him by election to the office of mayor and his administration has brought many needed reforms and improvements. He is a worthy exemplar of the Masonic fraternity, belonging to Butler Lodge, No. 84, A. F. & A. M., of Clarksville, Butler county, Iowa, and he is also a charter member of Alpha Omega Alpha. In both professional and social circles of the community he enjoys an enviable reputation. source- http://www.genealogytrails.com/sdak/lyman/bios.html#berry_ellis
