William Henry Drummond

William Henry Drummond (1854-1907), born Drumm near Mohill, in County Leitrim in Ireland, emigrated at the age of ten with his family to Montreal, where they lived in straitened circumstances. As a teenage telegraphist at L'Abord-à-Plouffe, on the Rivière des Prairies, he mixed with the French-Canadian inhabitants and travellers, then resumed his studies and became a doctor in 1884. He practised in Montreal, taught medicine, and died of a cerebral haemorrhage at Cobalt, in the silver mines where he had interests with his brothers.
