Book Excerpt* 
Gazetteer of Grafton County, N.H., 1709-1886. (Syracuse, N.Y.: H. Child, 1886, 1130 pgs.) p. 112 says: "David Simeon Whitcher was born in Landaff, now Easton, November 30, 1846. He was educated at the seminary at Tilton, and at the new Hampton Literary Institution. His legal education was obtained in the offices of C.W. & E. D. Rand, and of Bingham & Mitchell, in Littleton. He was admitted to the bar at the March term, at Haverhill, in 1876, and for one year thereafter was employed as an attorney by Bingham & Mitchell. He then opened an office, and, notwithstanding the rapid encroachments of consumption, he did a considerable office business. He was, however, compelled to relinquish his practice, and in the summer of 1881, he retired to the home of his parents, in Easton, where he died in November of that year. He has been described by one who knew him well, as "the soul of professional honor - absolutely free from vices of habit or purpose, never betraying a client, a friend, or even an enemy.3
