DEATH OF AN OLD-TIMER
Jesse F. Draper Drops Dead in His Stable Yard
Jesse F. Draper, familiarly known to all the old-settlers of this valley as "Grandpa" Draper, died suddenly at his home in Washoe, Monday afternoon between four and five o'clock. The old gentleman dropped dead while unhitching his team from the wagon in a shed near his residence. Life was barely extinct when the body was discovered. He had been hauling in potatoes during the day and, though 74 years of age, had in contemplation a deer hunt, that being a customary thing with him every fall. It is thought he overexerted himself and died of heart failure.
Deceased would have been 74 years old had he lived to see the 6th day of the present month. He celebrated his Golden wedding the 30th of last June. He was born near Indianapolis, Ind., emigrated to Missouri, and returned from that state to Idaho 15 years ago, having resided ever since at the old homestead in Washoe. He was the father of ten children, eight of whom, with their aged mother, survive him.
"Grandpa" Draper was a man who had no enemies. He was plain-spoken, but always believed he was right before he expressed an opinion on any subject, and was not quick to recede from that opinion when once expressed. His life was worthy of emulation by his family and friends.
The burial took place Tuesday afternoon at Ontario. Ore. (The Payette Independent, Thursday, October 4, 1900)
