• Notes

  residence jt: At the time. of Mrs . Williams's death six of of her ten children survived her as follows: Catharine Minerva, married An- brose Collins; of Berkshire. Dr. Charles Draper, of St. Paul, Minn. Horatio Spencer, of. Woodhull, N. Y. Myron Milton, of St. Paul, Minn, Joseph Edwin, of Cleveland, Ohio Lucius . Ewart, of Newark . Valley. Mary married Elisha Hurd, of Aurora, Ohio. Amos. Draper died in this village May 24, 1808. At that time the vil- lage burying ground was at the present corner of Main and Court streets, and extended south to about the east line of the lot on which the new Tioga county clerk's office now stands. Mr. " Draper's body was buried where the old clerk's office stood, between the present jail and the old academy . buildings. . When men were digging for the founda- tion wall of the first clerk's, office, in 1825, . they cut . through Mr. Draper's. grave. Lucius E. Williams, of Newark Valley, is a son of Stephen Williams and the last survivor of ten children. Joseph Draper was unmarried. He died of consumption at the home of. Lucius E: Williams in 1832 or 1833, and his body was buried in the Newark Valley cemetery. Mr. Williams has an oil portrait of Joseph Draper. A historical society should be organized in Owego and this portrait and other portraits of early settlers should be gathered to- gether for preservation.
