E. H. Draper
Particulars given in the telegram received by Frank W. Foster, from
San Bernardino, Cal., of the death of Mr. Draper, were meager. The
end came after a brief illness, on Sunday evening.
His remains will be brought to Prescott today for burial by the side
of his wife and accompanying the body will be his sons, Frank and
Joyce and daughter, Miss Louise Draper.
The deceased was an early-day range man of this county, establishing
what is known as the D-I ranch, near Williamson valley. He retired
from business later, and followed civil engineering in this section.
As seems characteristic with the early-day pioneer, Mr. Draper also
was a splendid man and a good citizen. He was aged about 70 years,
and removed from this city about five years ago.
The funeral will take place from the Episcopal church tomorrow
afternoon.
