STARTS IN BUSINESS.
He returned home about the first of
November and entered into the mercan-
tile business at Drakeyille with his
father and older brother, John Hamilton,
as partners under the firm name Of
Drake & Sons. This partnership was
very successful, and. continued until
january I, 1858, when Francis retired,
taking as part Of his assets steam
grist sawmill much out of both patron
age and repair. This he put in good
condition, devoting his personal atten-
ton to it's management. In September,
1859, he removed to Unionville, Appa-
moose county, where he entered the
mercantile business and became live
stock dealer and pork packer.
At the outbreak of the civil war in
1861 he enlisted as private in COM
pany organized at Unionville and was
soon after elected and commissioned by
Governor Kirkwood as it's captain. His
first service was to reinforce Colonel
Moore of the Twenty first Missouri regi-
ment, who was beseiged at Memphis
Mo.
This he did in disregard Of an order
issued by one of the governors aids, at
Bloomfield, Iowa. On arriving at Bloom
field he found three other companies on
their way to Memphis that had been
halted by this order, on the ground
"that Iowa companies should not cross
the state line and invade Missouri.
Notwithstanding this, in the belief that
the circumstances justified the move
ment, and the action would be approved
by the governor, he consulted the other
companies and it was decided to &C
ahead, and that Captain Drake should
command the battalion, which was &C
cordingly done.
AN IOWA BORDER FIGHT.
Not long afterwards, General Patton,
commanding two thousand confederate
soldiers in Missouri, attacked Colone
Craner, driving him into Taylor county
Iowa, and regiment called "Colone
Edwards Independent Regiment" was
organized, of which John Edwards was
made colonel. Capt. brakes compan,
was made part of that regiment, ant
he was elected major, and with his com
mand served through 1861 in Missouri
driving General Patton from the north
ern part Of the state. He was assigned
by General Prentiss to the command O
st. Joseph Mo-, holding the position a
tho time of Colonel Mulligan's surrend
or to Price at Lexington.
At the organization of the thirty
sixth Iowa infantry in 1862, he wa
made lieutenant colonel. Genera
Drake took a prominent part in tn
campaign of General Steele from Littl
4 Rock to reinforce Banks in Louisiana il
1854. His gallant defense at Elkin'
Ford on the Little Missouri river on tn
4th of April, 1864, was highly commend
ed by his superior officers, and he wa
soon after placed in command of hi
brigade.
