M. H. DRUMMOND
 
M. H. Drummond, a merchant at Davisville, was born May 1, 1859, about seven 
miles southeast of that village, on a ranch where he lived until he was fifteen 
years old.  He then moved into town, attended school, and finished his education 
at Sacramento, at the age of twenty years.  In 1882, in partnership with E. W. 
Brown, he started in the hardware business in Davisville; and nine months 
afterward he sold out his interest in that business and bought an interest in 
the hardware and grocery trade of D. F. Liggett, and they carry a stock of about 
$20,000, doing a large and prosperous business.
 
March 13, 1884, Mr. Drummond was married to Eliza Callaway, and they have one 
son, named Lester C.  Mrs. Drummond was killed in Oregon by a horse running away 
and throwing her and her little babe out of the buggy, July 15, 1885.  She was 
killed in the instant, but the babe escaped unhurt!
