Obituary
Madison County Times Feb 8, 1884
"Chittenango Station - The subject of this memorial, Ari Draper was born in the village of Herkimer on the 4th day
of June 1815, died January 27, 1884.
Of his early life and advantages his biography is limited. He moved to Sullivan,
Madison County about the year 1838 and was married to Cynthia Bender the 31st day of December 1840 the ceremony
being performed by the Hon Esq. Beebe of Canasaraga.
He first located to East Boston and for years worked at the
carpenter trade and mason work. From East Boston he moved to Syracuse and from thence to Lysander and thense to
Ridgeville and in 1851 permanently located in Sullivan where he died as above stated.
He became seriously impressed in early life and formally united with the Weslyan Methodist, living an exemplary
life for many years. He was so zealous and energetic in the cause of religion that conference granted him license
to exhort. In 1866 he felt impressed to probe and thoroughly investigate spiritualism, which proved a more difficult
task and strain on his mind than he anticipated. Ultimately he settled down as a consistent liberalist, claiming
there was one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God and Father of all, who is over all, and in us all.
It can be truthfully said of him that he can be numbered among God's nobility.-- the honest men. He earned his
bread by the sweat of his brow, and is in happy communion with all the great and good that have
preceded him.
His wife improves this opportunity to express her sincere thanks to all of her many friends for their great kindness
during her husbands quite protracted illness and feels very grateful for their manifestations of great respect
shown deceased at the funeral."
