Did a search and found mostly hit job articles but did find this;

Drummond Land & Cattle Co. traces its roots to Fredrick Drummond, who came to the former Osage Nation Indian territory at the age of 22 in 1886.

Drummond emigrated from Scotland in 1882 and was hired as a clerk by John R. Skinner who owned the Osage Mercantile Company in Pawhuska, Oklahoma.

So Frederick Drummond worked for someone else to begin with. Couldn't have been that rich then. The family stuck together and fathers taught their sons well and they prospered. Sounds like the American dream.

Also a lot of land there might have been purchased for tax tittle in the 1920s and 30s - usually was around $1 an acre
