During the Civil War, William F. Draper enlisted in a local volunteer company, later Company B of the 25th Massachusetts regiment, that his father, George Draper, was instrumental in raising. William F. Draper was chosen second lieutenant although he was only a little over nineteen years old. He served for 4 years and was severely wounded in the battle of Wilderness, though he returned to the field later. He was made a brigadier-general for "gallant service during the war." |
