General Notes: Husband - Simon Drum, Jr.

---

He entered the Military Academy at West Point, and graduated with distinguished honor in July, 1829. He was on active duty in the Black Hawk war, and served for three years in the Florida war as an officer of artillery. In 1846 he joined Gen. Wool in his long and arduous march through Mexico to Saltillo, performing duty as assistant-inspector-general. From there he marched, in command of his company, with Worth's division to join Gen. Scott in the attack upon Vera Cruz. In the whole campaign he conducted himself with that cool and accomplished bravery for which he was so remarkably distinguished, and at Cerro Gordo and Contreras his gallantry displayed itself in a conspicuous manner.
