Biographical Note

Clifford Merrill Drury was born November 7, 1897 in Early, Iowa, the son of William and Mae Dell Drury. His first academic degree was an A.B. from Buena Vista College in Storm Lake, Iowa. He served in the Chemical Warfare Service of the United States Army at Yale University in 1918. In 1919 he transferred to the American Red Cross at Fort Des Moines, Iowa. Following his term in the service, Drury enrolled in San Francisco Theological Seminary at San Anselmo, California. He received his degree and was ordained in the ministry of the Presbyterian Church in 1922. That same year, on November 17, he married Miriam Mayhew Leyrer.

After serving for a time as assistant pastor to a Berkeley, California church, he went to Shanghai, China, where, from 1923-1927, he accepted the position of pastor in the Community Church. Drury returned to the United States in 1928 and accepted a call to the First Presbyterian Church in Moscow, Idaho, 1928-1938.

While at Moscow, Drury became interested in the history of the Oregon Mission of the Presbyterian Church, and began the research that would occupy the remainder of his life. The results of his research were twelve published volumes on the history of the Protestant missions in the Pacific Northwest.

In 1932 Drury was awarded a PhD from the University of Edinburgh, specializing in historical subjects. As a distinguished author and educator he received honorary degrees from Buena Vista College, Iowa; Whitworth College and Whitman College, both in Washington State.

Drury became professor of church history at San Francisco Theological Seminary in 1938 where he served until his retirement in 1963. During this period he was also chaplain in the United Stated Naval Reserve, 1933-1958, including a stretch of active duty, 1941-1946, and the official historian of the Chaplain Corps of the United States Navy from 1944-1956.
