386Dr. Drach graduated from the Maryland University School of Medicine in Baltimore, Md. On March 6, 1880. He settled in Butler, Maryland, where he practiced medicine for 55 years before his death. He served in the Maryland House of Delegates from Baltimore County, Maryland in the session of 1890. Dr. Drach was named after his two grandfathers, Col. John LaMotte and Henry Drach of New Windsor, Carroll County, Maryland. Dr. Drach's father was Dr. Hanson Maury Drach who served as Assistant Surgeon General of the U.S. Army during the Civil War from 1860 to 1865. [BJ's note: I believe Dr. Hanson was simply an Asst. Surgeon, and his middle name was Maurer] Dr. John Henry Drach's first name (John) was given him after his grandfather on his mother's side, Col. John LaMotte who was a Colonel of the Carroll County Dragoons. Col.
