Drummond was born in Derry Township, Pike Co. Il., May 26, 1859, and departed this life May 31, 1913, aged 54 years and 5 days, at his home in the same township, having spent his entire life in the same vicinity. He was married to Fannie S. Williams, Feb. 1879. To this union were born 6 children, 3 daughters and 3 sons, one daughter Mrs. Bessie Woodward having preceded him to the better land May 21, 1907. She was the first to break the family circle and transplanted from her earthly home to her heavenly home. The remaining ones are, Mrs. Mary Milligan, Mrs. Nancy Venicombe, both of Hadley Il., Othie of El Dara; Herman and Harold at home. The five children with the companion are left to feel most keenly the loss of a kind, loving and self sacrifice husband and father. He united with the Primitive Baptist church in Aug. 1891 of which he has ever been a consistent member. He will be greatly missed in his neighborhood and vicinity in which he has always lived. During his life no task was too great for him to undertake if it was for the good of those around him. He has been a long suffer, reaching a period of more than a year, with cancer of the stomach, and all that human hands c! ould do to relieved none, but he never was known to complain, but was heard to say many times, "we must just look to a higher power". Besides the wife and children he leaves seven grand-children, 4 sisters and 3 brothers. Barry Adage
