David Dickey (1806-1877) was born in Epsom, New Hampshire, and died in Lowell, Massachusetts. He studied law at Dartmouth College, graduating in 1835. He first practiced in Hillsborough, New Hampshire, in the offices of Albert Baker, Mary Baker Eddy's brother. In 1842, he moved to Haverhill, New Hampshire, to take over the law practice of David Collins. Dickey built a successful practice in Haverhill, before giving up law in 1858 and moving to Tewksbury, Massachusetts. Dickey was an acquaintance of Samuel Swasey, the husband of Augusta Holmes Swasey, a school friend of Mary Baker Eddy's.
