He was born in Clark County, Ind., January 15, 1854, and is the son of James T and Eliza A (Ramsey) Drummond, natives of Indiana. His mother died when our subject was quite small, leaving behind three children ? Anna, David T. and John R. The father is still living in Henry County, this state. Having received an education in the district schools and assisted his father in the manual labor attendant upon farm life until 1875, John R. the left home in Henry County, wither the family had removed, and sought work with his team in Union County. For awhile he found employment in breaking the prairie sod, but the last two years of his residence in the latter locality were put in on a rented from which he raised two crops. In March, 1878, he came to Monona County, and having but limited means, leased a farm upon which, other rented pieces of land, he resided five years, and then, having accumulated some little capital, purchased his present farm of eighty acres, thirty-five which he has under the plow. Most of his attention is given to stock-raising, he keeping on hand from thirty to forty head of cattle at all times. A thrifty grove of maple trees made am acre of orchard beautify and add to the value of his place. MR.
