the following October. Soon after, on account of special gallantry and hard and efficient service he was brevetted brigadier-general of United States Volunteers and assigned for duty commensurate with his rank. I-Ie was mustered out of service in September, 1865. Since the war Governor Drake has practiced law, has engaged in banking, and has projected and built five railroads. In November, 1895, he was elected governor of the state of Iowa. The same wisdom and sterling qualities manifest at other times were marked in his administration. Because of ill health, at the close of his term of office he retired from active, public life, resigned the presidency of the Indiana. Illinois and Iowa Railroad, freed himself from a number of large enterprises, promising his physician, his family and his friends that he would devote himself to the regaining of health. Governor Drake has six children- Frank E., John A. and Mrs. Theodore P. Shonts, of Chicago g Mrs. Henry Goss, Mrs. J. L. Saw- yers and Mrs. George W. Sturdivant, of Centerville, Iowa. The beloved wife and mother died in 1883. I While Governor Drake's hair is white, and grandchildren as tall as he, lovingly addressing him by their pet name, Baba, stand about him, and he is in his seventy-second year 3 his heart is too young, and his interest in the world in general too keen for his friends to believe that he ever can grow old. Long live our friend, our benefactor, our beloved Governor Drake! 9
