The Leader of Saturday 13 September 1884 reported: It is with regret we hear of the death of Mrs. Charles Draper, Charnwood, after a lingering illness of some months’ duration. In her, Mr. Draper has lost a most excellent helpmate, who by her industry, frugality and good management must have contributed largely to his success in life, and her loss will be severely felt, although she has left some most excellent daughters behind her.
