Dr. Rowland Chamley
Dr. Rowland Chamley, a Moody County veterinarian for 53 years was born April 16, 1857, in Kendal, England, and died April 14, 1940. His wife, Margaret Curran, was born at New Diggings, Wisconsin, on March 10, 1859, and died February 21, 1945. They are buried at Colman. A niece now lives at the farm where Margaret was born. Rowland and Margaret were married on March 2, 1878, at New Diggings, Wis.
Rowland was going to school at Shulsbury, Wis. He was riding a horse and it broke away from him. Margaret was out chopping wood and the horse came up to her and she put him in the barn. She had heard the horse crossing the bridge over the Fever River. Rowland and his mother came looking for the horse and Margaret's father took them into the house to meet the girl who had found the horse. Soon Rowland asked her to go to church with him, the beginning of a romance.
The following children were born to Mrs. and Mrs. Chamley: Will, Feb. 7, 1879, in Wisconsin, Rowland Hill Dec. 31, 1881, Wis.: Charles, July 2, 1884, Wis.; Frank Daniel, June 20, 1887, Egan Township, Dakota Territory; Joshua, July 10, 1888, Egan Township, Dakota Territory; Emma, May 5, 1891, Egan Township, S.Dak.; Dr. John A., Sept. 2, 1893, Egan Township, S.Dak. (still living in Sturgis, S.D.); Cora Mae, Nov. 15, 1869, Egan Township, S.Dak.
To mark Emma's Birthday, Rowland, his sons and neighbors planted a half mile of trees from their farm north on the west side of Highway 77 south of Lone Tree one mile. They made the holes with a broom handle and someone followed putting in the seedlings. Many of these still stand today. In 1900 the Chamley's moved to Colman and built a home, on the corner west of the Methodist Church. Dr. Chamley was busy day and night. He also taught Dr. Struble the practice and later he became the veterinarian in Wentworth. Mrs. Chamley, besides caring for her family, did practical nursing, acting as mid-wife and in 1918 cared and nursed many through the flu epidemic.
