William Burgess Draper was the son of Daniel Fisher Draper and Mary Ann Collins of Cambridge, Mass. He was a businessman who owned property in Boston, which he divided and sold as house lots, making a tidy profit. This is apparently what allowed the family to become financially independent. His wife, Carrie, was said to be the financial manager of the family, and would give William an allowance with which he would pursue his favorite pastime of going to the movies. The family initially lived in Cambridge, Massachusetts where both children were born. By 1910 they had moved to 160 Lincoln St., Newton Highlands, Mass., when Carrie was the informant for her father's death certificate. They later lived at 17 Meredith Ave., Newton, which was the residence for both when they died.

Children, b. Cambridge, MA:

* Warren Fales, b. 9 Aug 1883, m. Margaret Ganesvoort MAXON

* Elwyn Burgess, b. 28 Oct 1890, m. Olive May TITUS
