Nathan Drumbore, a successful farmer residing in Packer township, Carbon county, was born in the Mahoning valley, in Mahoning township, Carbon county, in 1845, and is descended from German ancestry. The family was established by German emigrants in the valley during the pioneer epoch in its development, and since that time representatives of the name have been numbered among the industrious and valued citizens of that locality. Thomas Drumbore, the father, was born in Lynn township, Lehigh county, and became a wealthy farmer of Mahoning valley, owning and operating over two hundred acres of very valuable farming land. He was both practical and progressive in his agricultural pursuits, and his labors brought to him a very gratifying financial return. He married Miss Kate Fenstermacher, who was also born in Lynn township, Lehigh county, and his death occurred in 1867, while his wife survived him until 1900. In their family were seven children: Nathan, Alfred, William, Henry, Elvina, Drucilla and Lena.
