D., one of the prominent physician and surgeons of Sioux Falls, is a native of Iowa, having been born in the town of Sibley, on the 25th of October, 1878, a son of Henry and Mary (Rooney) Billion. When he was a child of three years his parents removed to Minnesota, where he received his early educational discipline, the family continuing to reside in that state until he had attained the age of ten years, when they came to South Dakota and took up their abode in Sioux Falls, where the Doctor continued his studies in the public schools, eventually entering the Sioux Falls Normal School. His parents still reside in this city, his father being a commercial traveler by vocation. In 1895 Dr. Billion was matriculated in St. Thomas College, at St. Paul, Minnesota, where he pursued a classical course, remaining in the institution until 1897, when he entered upon the technical work of preparing himself for the profession to which he had determined to devote his life. He became a student in the John A. Creighton Medical College, in Omaha, Nebraska, where he completed the prescribed course, being graduated as a member of the class of 1901 and receiving his coveted degree of Doctor of Medicine. Shortly after his graduation the Doctor returned to Sioux Falls, where he established an office, and here he has since been engaged in the general practice of his profession, in which his efforts have been attended with gratifying success, indicating a popular appreciation of his professional talent and his devotion to his noble and humane vocation. He is a close student of his profession and keeps in constant touch with the advances made in the sciences of medicine and surgery. The Doctor is a member of the State Medical Society of South Dakota, and is serving as county physician of Minnehaha county. In politics he is found staunchly aligned in support of the principles and policies of the Republican party, and fraternally is identified with the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks.
