   Dr. Samuel Whitehall, Attica, was born in this place in 1848. His father, Dr.
Alexander L. Whitehall, settled near Newtown, in this county, in 1832. His
mother's maiden name was Sarah A. Van Gundy; she was descended from Peter Von
Gunten, a Swiss Huguenot, able, wealthy, and distinguished in the history of his
country, who aspired to the government of Berne, and, being compelled to flee
for his life, sought asylum in France. He and his family emigrated to America,
and settled in Penn's colony; and from him have sprung the Gundys and Von
Gnndys. Of the former several families live in Vermilion county, Illinois. The
remote history of the Whitehall family is given at length in the sketch of
Nicholas Whitehall, of Richland township. The subject of this notice early began
the study of medicine with his father. In 1866-7 he attended medical lectures at
the Michigan University; the next year he took a course at the Eclectic Medical
Institute, and the following year returned to the former institution, graduating
therefrom in the spring of 1870. He at once located in his native town,
remaining till 1875, when he removed to Niles, Michigan; but after four years'
absence returned to resume his former practice in Attica. In 1873 he married
Miss Kate E. Everett, of Urbana, Ohio. He is an Odd-Fellow and republican, and a
gentleman of well cultivated mind, pleasing address, and thoroughly informed
understanding.
