General Notes: Husband - Perry W. Draucker

---

He spent his boyhood on the home farm and assisted his father to clear it. In early manhood he learned the harness making trade, working for two years under Levi Flegal, at Luthersburg, Pennsylvania, and later worked at this trade in Clarion County. After his marriage he bought the home farm and also the hotel which had been established by his father on the stage route and had been operated by his mother after the death of his father. Mr. Draucker conducted the hotel, under license, until 1894 when he moved to DuBois, where he took charge of the old DuBois House, on the east side of the borough, and continued there for three years, moving then to Clearfield, where he operated what was then known as the Manton House, but which was also conducted as the Hotel Dimeling, for six years. When he gave up that hostelry he took charge of the Windsor Hotel, at Clearfield, and remained in the hotel business three years more and then returned to the farm. This was valuable land both as to productiveness in the way of agriculture and also on account of a vein of coal underlying. In 1884 Mr. Draucker sustained the loss of his building from fire, but he at once rebuilt and his handsome residence was one of the finest in the township, containing fourteen rooms, heated by a modern furnace and equipped with a cold and hot water system.
In politics Mr. Draucker was a Democrat. He was a member of a number of the leading fraternal organizations, including: the Odd Fellows, at DuBois; the Elks at DuBois; the Knights of Pythias at New Salem, and the Red Men at Clearfield.
