THOMAS WILLIAM DRUMM
Born : July 12, 1871
Deceased : October 24, 1933
Bishop of Des Moines, 1919-1933
Official blazon
- (personal arms) Argent, a chevron azure charged with a trefoil of the field, between three spear-heads gules.
Origin/meaning
As common in US episcopal heraldry, the arms show the arms of the diocese impaled with the personal arms of the bishop.
The chevron is a canting element for the name Drumm(er), being of Irish/Scottish origin and meaning ridge or hill. The spear-heads are among the attributes of Saint Thomas, the Ordinary's Patron, and the trefoil of Saint Patrick indicates his cure before his advancement to the episcopate.
