History of Jane Bryant Draper Pioneer of 1899

Written by Zilnorah Draper Barnett

Jane Bryant Draper was the oldest child of Phillip and Sarah Witcher Bryant. She was born 2 May 1831, at Mushall, Wiltshire, England.  Little is known of her early life until she was baptized into the L. D. S. Church 23 May 1852, except that she was an exceptionally good reader and well-educated for those days. She then belonged to the Wilsford Branch of West Lavington, of the Church Of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day-Saints, at Wiltshire, England. In 1858, at the age of 21 years, she married William Draper, a widower, with four children named Elizabeth, Annie Josiah, and Joseph. He was also of the West Lavington Branch. Fire years after they were married, her husband's oldest daughter Elizabeth died 14 October 1863, age 23 years.

They lived at Easterton, Wiltshire, England, where three children were born to them. Philip Hyrum, who died 6 Mar. 1862, just 4 days before George Henry was born on 10 Mar. 1862. A daughter, Sarah Elizabeth, was born 16 Mar. 1864.

Even though they had much sorrow and trials, their desires to come to Utah to be with the Saints materialized.

My Grandfather, William Draper, was born in Easterton, Wiltshire, England, 25 November 1818, a son of William Draper

and Sarah Earl. He married first, Sarah Ann Miles on 25 Aug. 1838, by whom he had four children, Elizabeth, Annie, Josiah, and Joseph. Elizabeth died 14 Oct. 1863, at the age of 23.

Grandfather's first wife heard the gospel of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints before he did. At one time, when he came home and learned that she had gone to hear the Mormon missionaries, Grandfather was very angry. He grabbed a stick and was going to go and bring her back home and punish her. But when he arrived at the meeting and listened he was so impressed that he could only stay and listen to what they said.

William Henry Bone obituary

A clipping taken from the Deseret Evening News at the time of his death dated March 12, 1900 reads as follows:

Utah Pioneer Dead

William H. Bone, one of Kaysville's first Settlers

Kaysville, March 12 - William H. Bone, one of Kaysville's early settlers died Suddenly last night at 9:40 of heart failure. He was in his usual good health and spirits yesterday, and in accordance with his usual custom, he took an evening walk of half an hour or more after dark, returning to the house less than an hour before his death. After reading for some time he bade his wife an affectionate good night and retired. In less than a minute he was dead. There was no struggle. He apparently passed into peaceful repose, the only sign of the end being his labored breathing.

Mr. Bone was a man of sterling qualities, honest and upright in every walk of life. He was a native of Exeter, England, where he was born September 1828-1829. He was married in 1854 and with his wife came to America two years later, stopping in New York for four years, and then coming to Utah. Since 1861 they have resided in Kaysville. Mrs. Bone and ten children survive him, six daughters, Mary Ellen Barnett, Rhoda Jane Bone Blamires of Kaysville, Emma Egbert of Franklin, Idaho, Clara, Florence, and Anna of Salt Lake City, and four sons, William James and Francis of Layton, Utah, Thomas Henry and Richard Edwin of Kaysville. The deceased had a wide acquaintance in Utah and was universally respected. Funeral services will be held in the Kaysville Meeting House on Wednesday. Burial will be in the Kaysville City Cemetery.

His children were all industrious, stalwart and respected citizens in the communities in which they lived, a fine tribute to their parents.

William H. Bone history by Alberta Streeper

A Story of the life of WIlliam H. Bone 

Written with love and respect, and with gratitude for a good heritage

His loving granddaughter Alberta May Blamires Streeper July 7, 1976

William Henry Bone, son of Richard and Elizabeth Anstey Bone, was born September 1828 or 1829 at Exeter, Devonshire, England, and was christened at Kennford, Devonshire, England, the 21st of September 1828 or 1829.

Little is know of his early life except that when he was about eight years old he was playing on teeter-totter with a friend who jumped off while William was "up" and the board fell, breaking his knee. It was set, but healed out of place. It was broken and re-set, but this was unsuccessful, leaving him a life-long cripple. It is not known how much schooling he had but he did have some and later became an apprentice in a shoe shop and became an expert in making fine boots and shoes.
