Judge Leavitt was born in Hampton, Sept. 29, 1832. He was a graduate of Bowdoin in 1856. He studied law with the late ex-Gov. Bell and held a law partnership with Gen. Gilman Marston and J. Warren Towle, two leading attorneys of their day. He was the oldest member of the Rockingham Bar and probably in the state. He is survived by a widow, one son, Thomas, Jr., and a daughter, Mrs. Henry W. Broughton of Jamaica Plain, Mass.
The funeral will be held in Exeter at two o'clock Friday afternoon, and burial will be at Hampton.
