DR. DRUMMOND

Dr. Drummond, who closed his career as a minister of the Methodist 
Episcopal church, practiced medicine in Wellsburg many years ago.  He 
gave up his practice to enter the ministry, and occupied pulpits in 
Wheeling, St. Clairsville, Cadiz and other points.  He will be much 
better remembered as a preacher than as a physician.  The writer has 
frequently heard him in the pulpit, and has been entranced by his 
wonderful eloquence.  He often made use of poetical quotations, and 
so eloquent and ornate was his style of oratory that it was sometimes 
difficult to tell where the poetical quotation ended.  He died in 
Cadiz about 1885.
