Cyrus / A Prodigal Son Returns After 75 Years Looking for a Burkesville cave he had "discovered" eight decades before, James Carroll Draper discovers a a nephew Photo will accompany this story S.F. Coffey residence was next to today's 515 Burkesville Street, the home of the Wally and Teresa Richard family, who are collecting history on their home Mr. James Carroll Draper quite likely holds the all-time record for the longest time away from Adair County before coming back to the auld sod for a visit. The tale is told in a short entry from the Adair County News in September, 1948. Visits Columbia After 75 Years AbsenceDraper family had lived in the Leatherwood district In 1870, the Draper family lived in the Leatherwood district, but an Ellen Draper, age 19 & quite possibly a sister, was enumerated with the Sophia A. Reed family. Her occupation was given as housekeeper. Although the street names weren't given in census, the Reed household fell between two known Burkesville Street residents, W.W. Page and Herschel C. Baker. It's easy to imagine the Burkesville Street cave Mr. Carroll was seeking in 1948 was one he had "discovered" some eight decades earlier when he came to visit his sister Ellen. California records state that Mr. Draper was born August 6, 1860 in Kentucky, and that he died in Los Angeles County, Calif. on August 14, 1954--a week and a day after his 94th birthday.
