Eben Sumner Draper was born in the town of Milford, Worcester county, Massachusetts, June 17, 1858, son of George and Hannah (Thwing) Draper, grandson of Ira and Abigail (Richards) Draper, great-grandson of Maj. Abijah Draper of Dedham, who fought in the American army during the Revolutionary war, and a descendant of James and Miriam (Stansfield) Draper, who came from Yorkshire, England, to Roxbury, Massachusetts Bay, in 1647. ' Pile Drapers were manufacturers and inventors of weaving and spinning machinery, both in England and New England. Governor Draper attended the public schools in his native town, and later spent some time at the Allen school, West Newton.

Later he entered several cotton mills in Lowell, Manchester and other cities in New England. I he knowledge thus acquired through three years of practical work was preliminary to his becom¬ ing selling agent for the various Hopedale concerns in introducing mill machinery.
