(According to his naturalization papers, he may also have used his brother's name, Charles Drury, for a short time for unknown reasons.)John was a member of the Independent Order of Oddfellows. John worked at the roller mill in De Smet and received severe injuries when he was mangled in the gearing in May 1892.
