Nathaniel Drew, called Uncle Nat by
all who knew him, was born in Wolfboro,
\. H.. May 31st, 1905, and was one of
family of seven children. When he was
thirteen years old his father moved to
Glover, the journey taking three days and
being made in the winter with an OK team.
Nat and Joseph, 10 and 10 years old, made
the journey on foot. As soon small
house could be built the family moved to
the farm now occupied by OIin Drew and
there Nathaniel Drew had lived for 70
years. In 1880 he married SaIlIe Mcclellan,
and in 1881 replaced the small house built
by his father with new one. Here four
children were born to them, two of whom
are living, and here Mrs. Drew died many
years ago. In 1888 he lost his hearing from
the effect of measles which aftiiction he
ever bore without murmur. He was
temperate, upright, and honorable man,
genial and friendly and beloved by all who
knew him, old or young. 1t was his proud
boast that he never was sued in his life and
never had a mortgage on his farm. He
years by his son who lived with him.
There were present at his funeral three
generations, his son OIin, grandsons Har-
ley Drew and E. A. Wolcott, granddaugh-
tiers, Mrs. Rueben Mason and Mrs. Eugene !
Anderson, and great granddaughters Alice
Mason and little Ida Bean.
