  DRAPER  CONDUITT  SANDERS

W.C. DRAPER, hardware and furniture dealer, was born May 16, 1850, and is a 
son of Jesse and Eliza (CONDUITT) DRAPER, natives respectively of North 
Carolina and Kentucky, and of English and French descent.  He attended school 
regularly during boyhood, and graduated in the classical course when 
seventeen years old - the youngest alumnus of the State University.  He 
located at Martinville, and studied law for one year, which he abandoned 
afterward, and visited California, where he worked as a carpenter.  On his 
return, he associated himself with the National Temperance Alliance at
Indianapolis, and after the death of his father - May 28, 1872 - came home 
to look up his father’s estate, and then engaged in the lumber trade for a 
time.  November 21, 1873, he married Miss Mary, daughter of L.W. SANDERS, a 
union which has been cemented by four children - Clarence, Admilla, Beulah 
and Blaine.  In January, 1882, he engaged in his present business, in which 
he has been very successful.  Mr. Draper is a member of the I.O.O.F., and a 
licensed local minister of the Baptist denomination of which his wife is a
member.  He is an influential and respected citizen.
