Dr. West, a modern Allopathist and eclectic physician, located at Lexington. He was born in 1847 near Bradford, Ontario. He was the son of Benjamin and Mary (Howard) West, and was reared by his father to the calling of agriculturist. Young David attended winter terms of the common schools until 1862 when he became a student at Bradford High School, remaining there until 1864 when he began teaching. He continued this occupation for one and a half years and matriculated at the Victoria Medical Branch College at Toronto. He passed the examinations and was graduated in 1868. He soon received a call to Lexington and he came in 1869 to join the practice of Dr. Hiram Hayward. Dr. West purchased 40 acres of land in Worth Township. He increased the acreage another 40 and continued the practice of his profession in Worth Township. In 1882, he moved his office to Lexington. He purchased a residence there and established what became a sizeable practice on the north corner of Huron. He received an appointment from the federal government in 1875 as examining surgeon for pensioners for Sanilac and Huron Counties.
Dr. David left a series of journals describing his work in Sanilac County. Essentially, they were a ongoing account of his patients. But he would also sometimes includes personal references about family life. They were given to the Sanilac County Historic Village & Museum some time ago.
