After many years of feeble health and two or three weeks of sickness, Mr. John H. Drummond passed to the life beyond at 8 o'clock Tuesday morning, Jan 9. His age was 91 years, 6 months, and 14 days. He was born in Harrison County, Ohio, June 25, 1829. He was married in the same county in May 1853, to Rachel A. Martin who with their two daughters, Mrs. C. Sayre and Mrs. S. Nyburg survives him. Both daughters were able to be present in the last illness, and with members of their families attended the funeral Thursday, Jan. 10.
Mr. Drummond was a soldier of the Civil War, serving as a member of the 126th Ohio Volunteer Infantry. He enlisted Aug. 14, 1862 and was honorably discharged June 25, 1865.
Funeral services were held at the home by Rev. GW Mitchell. Members of the FAR served as pallbearers and the FAR burial service was used at the grave.
Mr. Drummond lived a simple, straight forward, honorable life, and died, we may be sure, in the comfort of the Gospel.
