Born in Cleveland, Draper settled in Sonoma County in 1946 when her family bought a Petaluma chicken ranch. Draper, known as \"Prue\" to her friends, did not care for farm chores and went to UC Berkeley on a scholarship, but dropped out two years later after catching pneumonia. In 1949, she met Lloyd Draper and they married two years later. Two months into their marriage, they bought The Cotatian, the weekly newspaper where they did everything from writing stories and taking pictures to selling advertisements and operating a large Linotype machine while their children ' Robert, Robin and Jay ' played in the back room. The two played a major role in the early 1960s opposing Rohnert Park's attempt to swallow up the town after the creation of Sonoma State University. In 1963, Cotati became incorporated as a city. The two closed the paper after 15 years, and Draper continued her journalism work as the women's editor for the Petaluma Argus-Courier, a writer for the Rohnert Park-Cotati Times and later as an assistant for Press Democrat columnist Gaye LeBaron. She and her late husband, Lloyd, who owned The Cotatian weekly newspaper from 1951 to 1965, collected Cotati historic documents, artifacts, and memorabilia for over 50 years, hoping that some day the city would have an appropriate place to store and display them, and make them available to the public. Draper became known as Cotati's unofficial historian. City staff would rely on her for such things as ideas for street names. As various organizations in town disbanded, they entrusted their records and artifacts to the Drapers with the understanding that they would be appropriately preserved. They established the Cotati Historical Society in 2007, and helped create the Cotati Museum in 2009. The couple wrote a book about the city in 2004, and have a city park named after them. Draper also worked at the Hewlett-Packard plant in Rohnert Park after helping recruit the company to the area. Draper died at age 86 in January 2017."},{"label":"Search SCL Digital Archives for this Author","value":["Draper, Prudence , 1930-2017"]},{"label":"Search Author or Book in Library Catalog","value":"Search for works by Prudence  Draper in the <a href=\"https://find.sonomalibrary.org/client/en_US/default/search/results?qu=%22Draper%2C+Prudence%22&te=&rt=false%7C%7C%7CAuthor\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">library catalog</a>"},{"label":"Search Author in Open Library","value":"Search for works by Prudence  Draper in <a href=\"https://openlibrary.org/search/authors?q=Draper+Prudence\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Open Library</a>"},{"label":"Author's Place(s) of Residence","value":["Cotati"]},{"label":"Sort Title","value":"Prudence  Draper (1930-2017)"},{"label":"Significant Title","value":"Recollections of Cotati"},{"label":"Digital Archives Identifier","value":"prue_draper"},{"label":"Digital Archives Collection Name(s)","value":["Sonoma County Local Authors"]},{"label":"Date Added","value":"2012/03/14"},{"label":"Filename","value":"prue_draper.jpg"},{"label":"Title","value":"Prudence  Draper (1930-2017)"},{"label":"Item Type","value":["Text"]},{"label":"Item Format or Genre","value":["Biography files","Bibliographies","Portraits","Photographs"]},{"label":"Search SC Local Arts for this Author or Artist","value":"<a href=\"https://digital.sonomalibrary.org/documents?filter_363=prue_draper&applyState=true\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Prudence  Draper (1930-2017)</a>"},{"label":"Collection(s)","value":["Sonoma County Local Authors"]},{"label":"Author Name (Controlled)","value":["Prudence  Draper (1930-2017)"]}],"description":"Prudence  Draper (1930-2017)","sequences":[{"@type":"sc:Sequence","canvases":[{"@id":"https://iiif.quartexcollections.com/sonomalibrary/iiif/105e293f-d29a-4e4b-a24f-3087b325111e/canvas/_1","@type":"sc:Canvas","label":"Prudence  Draper (1930-2017)","height":450,"width":450,"images":[{"@type":"oa:Annotation","motivation":"sc:painting","resource":{"@id":"https://iiif.quartexcollections.com/sonomalibrary/iiif/105e293f-d29a-4e4b-a24f-3087b325111e/full/full/0/default.jpg","@type":"dctypes:Image","format":"image/jpeg","service":{"@context":"http://iiif.io/api/image/2/context.json","@id":"https://iiif.quartexcollections.com/sonomalibrary/iiif/105e293f-d29a-4e4b-a24f-3087b325111e","profile":"http://iiif.io/api/image/2/level2.json","tiles":[{"width":512,"scaleFactors":[1]}]},"height":450,"width":450},"on":"https://iiif.quartexcollections.com/sonomalibrary/iiif/105e293f-d29a-4e4b-a24f-3087b325111e/canvas/_1","metadata":[]}],"thumbnail":{"@id":"https://iiif.quartexcollections.com/sonomalibrary/iiif/105e293f-d29a-4e4b-a24f-3087b325111e/full/500,500/0/default.jpg","@type":"dctypes:Image","height":500,"width":500}}]}],"thumbnail":"https://iiif.quartexcollections.com/sonomalibrary/iiif/105e293f-d29a-4e4b-a24f-3087b325111e/full/500,500/0/default.jpg","logo":"https://iiif.quartexcollections.com/sonomalibrary/iiif/logo"}
