| Notes for William Draper |
William Draper bred and raised horses. It's
said he mostly sold them to the U.S. Calvary. In almost
every picture of his son Frank, there's also a horse.
William was probably born in Indiana, but moved to Illinois as a child. His father died there of measles when William was about 12, and it seems as if the family was scattered as a result. As a young man he
settled in Kansas446,
