until a few years before his death. These lands were homesteaded by his father,
William "Dick" Drummond [1840-1923], a veteran of the Civil War -

Capt. L.S. HITE

Capt. L.S. Hite of Fort Wingate, New Mexico. I have
been told that the uniform worn by Capt. Hite is of the Tenth Infantry
Regiment; however, the U.S. Army Military History Institute has
advised me that there were no officers in the U.S. Army, during the
indicated time period, named HITE. They do confirm that the uniform is
of the 10th Infantry, although the sword is an 1858 calvary sword. The
10th was in Panama in the early 20th century, and a history of the
area mentions a Capt. Hite several times. One record I reviewed stated
that the 10th left Fort Union for Fort Wingate in 1902.

There were several DRUMMONDs, HITEs, and WORKs who
would have been of proper age to have been in the Spanish-American
War.
