DEATH OF MRS. W.W. DRAPER

Atlanta Constitution, 30th inst.

Mrs. Emma Moore Draper, widow of the late Capt. William W. Draper and one of 
Atlanta's best known women, died yesterday afternoon at 4:30 o'clock at her 
home, 43 Cone street. Death was due to heart trouble.

Since the death of her husband about three months ago, Mrs. Draper had been 
gradually sinking. Two weeks ago her condition became so serious that her 
friends and relatives grew doubtful of her ultimate recovery. She then began 
a steady decline, which eliminated all hope of her recovery.

Mrs. Draper was born 59 years ago in LaFayette, Ga.[Walker Co.], the daughter 
of the late W.A. Moore. Her mother Mrs. W.A. Moore is still living.

Mrs. Draper had been a resident of Atlanta since the close of the war and 
had been prominent in the social and religious life of that city. Her 
husband Capt. Draper was one of Atlanta's best citizens and was identified 
with the commercial interests of the city as a member of the firm of Draper, 
Moore & Co.

The deceased leaves six children; Mrs. H.H. North of Newnan, Ga., W.M. 
Draper of Murfreesboro, Tenn., Mrs. James R. McKeldin, Robert D. Draper, 
Jesse Draper and Wallace W. Draper of Atlanta. She is also survived by her 
mother Mrs. W.A. Moore; by one brother Wilmer L. Moore of Atlanta; two 
sisters, Mrs. Seaborn Wright of Rome, and Mrs. Hugh L. McKee of Atlanta and 
a sister-in-law Mrs. John M. Moore. Mrs. McKeldin who has been in 
Washington, D.C. was notified of her mother's death and is expected in 
Atlanta Friday night. The funeral arrangements will not be completed until 
after her arrival.
