Wendell was born January 23, 1947, in Dalton, Nebraska, as the youngest of two sons to Arnold and Dorothy Draper, Wendell attended school in Gurley, Nebraska. He was a member of Frank Welch Lodge No. 75 AF&AM, Sidney, Nebraska, Lodgepole (NE.) Valley Shrine Club and served on the governing council of United Church of the Plains, Dalton, Nebraska. Wendell married his high-school sweetheart Rilla Richards February 7, 1965, in Sidney, Nebraska and together they had three children: Leigh Beth, Brandon and David. From his childhood on, he worked side by side with his father and brother, raising wheat and other crops on the family farm north of Gurley, Nebraska. Farming was his lifelong passion and he was happiest when spring arrived and he was able to get back on the tractor, priding himself on being among the first in the field each year. In recent years, he was excited about passing the Draper farming legacy on to his children. Wendell was an accomplished welder, perfecting those skills as an early employee of the Egging Cab Company. On the farm, he built tools, repaired equipment and created works of art from metal. During his lifetime, he helped build several homes, and was proud to have built his dream log cabin on the farm with the help of family and friends. As a teenager, Wendell became enamored with automobiles of all kinds and loved tinkering with cars and hot rods. He also loved hunting ducks and geese, ice-fishing and camping with family, but only after the wheat was in. Memorial Service for Wendell Draper was held at 11:00 a.m., Wednesday, April 2, 2014, at the First United Methodist Church, Sidney, Nebraska with Rev. Thomas Hyde and Pastor Eric Alm as co-officiators. Interment was in the Gurley Cemetery, Gurley, Nebraska.
