"Nathaniel Drew, called Uncle Nat by all who knew him, was born in Wolfboro, N. H. May 31st, 1808, and was one of a 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 ox team. Nat and Joseph, 13 and 10 years old, made the journey on foot. As soon as a small house could be built the family moved to the farm now occupied by Olin Drew and there Nathaniel Drew had lived for 79 years. In 1830 he married Sallie McLellan, and in 1831 replaced the small house built by his father with a new one. Here four children were born to them, two of whom are living, and here Mrs. Drew died many years ago. In 1838 he lost his hearing from the effect of measles which affliction he ever bore without a murmur. He was a temperate, upright, and honorable man, genial and friendly and beloved by all who knew him, old or young. It was his proud boast that he never was sued in his life and never had a mortgage on his farm. He was tenderly cared for in his declining years by his son who lived with him.
There were present at his funeral three generations, his son Olin, grandsons Harley Drew and E. A. Wolcott [Walcott], granddaughters, Mrs. Rueben [sic] Mason and Mrs. Eugene Anderson, and great granddaughters, Alice Mason and little Ida Bean."
