     HERBERT C. DAY, M. D., of Exeter, N. H., has been engaged
in the successful practice of his profession in this city for the last sev-
enteen years. He was born in Bangor, Me., October 9, 1863. His par-
ents, Herbert and Mary (Sanders) Day, were natives of England,
in which country they were married. On emigrating to this country,
they landed at New York and went directly to Maine, where Herbert
Day was engaged for some time in railroad contracting. He died when
the subject of this sketch was nine months old. His wife sur-
vived him, dying at the age of eighty-six years. They were the parents
of six children, namely: Jason ; Alice, who married Hollis Cutting ;
James: Mary, wife of James Quimby; Edward, and Herbert C. All of
the three sons became physicians, Jason practicing his profession at
Portland, Ore., and James at Waltham, Mass.
     Herbert C. Day began his education in the schools of Bangor, Me.,
and later continued it at Braintree; Mass., where he remained for four
or five years. After graduating from an advanced school there, he
entered Dartmouth College, where he studied for two years. He then
went to Louisville, Ky., and was graduated from the medical depart-
ment of the University there in 1896. He began the practice of his
profession in Chicago, Ill., but after continuing there for about a year
and a half returned east and opened an office in Exeter, where he has
since remained. He has built up an excellent practice and is now num-
bered among the prosperous citizens of Exeter, which is the more to his
credit as his education was obtained with difficulty, he having had to
pay his own school and college expenses, which he did by working in
his spare time at anything that offered. He is recognized both by his
brother practitioners and by the public generally as an able physician
and surgeon, and was town physician of Exeter for eight years. His
fraternal affiliations are with the Knights of Pythias of Exeter, the Odd
Fellows, which order he joined at Lowell, Mass., when he was twenty-
one years old; and the Red Men of Exeter. He also belongs to the

Swamscott and the Exeter Clubs, and to the county and state medical
societies.
     Dr. Day was married, October 19, 1898, to Miss Lena S. Spaulding,
a daughter of George and Myria Martha (Towne) Spaulding, of Hunt-
ingdon, Vt., where Mr. Spaulding was engaged in business as a chair
manufacturer. Dr. and Mrs. Day attend the Second Congregational
Church of Exeter. They have a wide acquaintance among the best
people of the town, where both are highly esteemed. In politics the 
Doctor is a Republican. He takes an active interest in the public wel-
fare and his aid and influence can generally be enlisted in behalf of any
good cause, whether for the moral or material betterment of the com-
munity.
