Boutelle, Dr. David K., of Lake City, is a retired dentist formerly of 
Vermont. He was born in Landgrove, that State, in 1811, and is the eighth 
generation from James Boutelle who settled with the Massachusetts Bay 
Colony in America in 1632. At the age of twenty-one the Doctor entered a 
teachers' seminary and after a preparatory course of two years he devoted 
six years to teaching. He then entered on the study of dentistry under the 
private tutorship of D. Esteen, of Providence, Rhode Island, and entered 
on the practice of his profession a few years later at Newport in the same 
State, where remained nine years. He them removed to Manchester, New 
Hampshire, and there continued in practice till 1866 when he removed to 
Worcester, Massachusetts, whence he came to Lake City in 1869. Here he 
engaged in the practice of his profession from which he retired in 1879. 
The doctor was reared and educated strictly in the orthodox faith but has 
materially changed his views in later years. He is a free thinker and an 
enthusiastic advocate of his belief and a formidable antagonist of the 
principles indorsed by him in early life.
