Author: History of Tulare and Kings Counties

This enterprising and skillful harness-maker and saddler, whose place of 
business is on North Irwin street, between Sixth and Seventh streets, Hanford, 
Kings county, Cal., was born in Kansas, January 1, 1877, and lived there until 
he was about eight years old. Then his father died and his mother brought him 
to California, locating in Hanford, and here he was reared and educated. His 
first employment was on a ranch, and for some time he divided his labors 
between ranch work and such work as he found in packing houses. Eventually he 
began to learn the harness-maker's trade with C. S. Cunningham of Hanford. Two 
years later Mr. Cunningham sold out to Mr. Uberbacher, for whom the young man 
worked until Mr. Uberbacher died, leaving the business to his widow, who 
continued it till September, 1911, when she sold it to Mr. Drennen, who has 
owned and managed it since. He manufactures harness and saddles and deals in 
them and in whips, robes, carriage trimmings and harness and leather supplies, 
besides doing in a workman-like manner all repairs in his line.

Fraternally Mr. Drennen affiliates with the Improved Order of Red Men, the 
Foresters of America and the U. P. E. C. In these orders as well as in business 
circles he is justly popular, for he is of a friendly and helpful disposition, 
and as a citizen is public-spirited and solicitous for the general welfare of 
the community.
