WILLIAM H. BUCHER
Arizona, The Youngest State, 1913, pg 684

One of the most able members of the medical profession in 
Arizona and a man whose ability in the practice of his 
profession is the outward expression of his close study and 
wide experience is Dr. William H. Bucher, now specializing 
in surgery in Kingman. He was born in Sunbury, Pennsylvania, 
on the 1st of January, 1874, and is a son of John W. and Mary 
(Faust) Bucher.  The father, who was a prominent lumberman 
in that state, came to Arizona in 1911 and has since lived 
retired.

Dr. William H. Bucker acquired his early education in the 
public schools of his native state and was afterward a 
student in Bucknell University. He took his medical course 
in the Medico-Chirurgical College in Philadelphia and was 
graduated from that institution in 1896.  He afterward 
practiced for some time in Pennsylvania but on the 5th day 
of April 1898, was commissioned by President McKinley, a 
surgeon in the United States Navy and continued in the service 
until 1911 when he retired as lieutenant commander. He then 
came to Kingman, Arizona and opened an office here, where he 
has already been carried forward into professional relations.
