Eileen Elizabeth Draper After a courageous battle with cancer, Eileen Elizabeth Draper died March 22, 2006 at the Englehart and District Hospital. She was born in North Bay on June 10, 1926 to Robert and Elizabeth (Nee Durrell) Rowe. Educated there, she married Robert Adam Draper in North Bay in 1946. She worked as a substitute teacher and was also a homemaker. They moved to Englehart in 1954 from Timmins. A teacher by training, Mrs. Draper taught in a one-room school in Kerns Township in the mid 1940s. After her marriage to her soul mate, Bob Draper, she became a full-time homemaker raising a loving family of five. During the 1960s she returned to the classroom as a supply teacher at Englehart Public School. Mrs. Draper loved to cook, a skill she successfully passed on to each of her children. She also found great pleasure in catering banquets on behalf of the Ladies Auxiliary for Legion Branch 104 of which she was a member. She was equally adept at knitting, sewing and crocheting. Another one of her passions was fishing and she had her favourite spots at both the Hilliardton and Tomstown bridges and would regularly catch her limit of pickerel. It has been said that Mrs. Draper could catch pickerel in a mud puddle. Later in life she enjoyed playing the slot machines at Casino Rama and Keewadin.
