About Floyd Draper

Lived 1893 – 1980 (aged 86–87).

Floyd S. Draper (October 17, 1893 – March 20, 1980) was a justice of the Indiana Supreme Court from January 2, 1951, to January 10, 1955.

Born in Fulton, New York, Draper graduated from high school in Watertown, New York, and received his law degree from the Valparaiso University School of Law in 1915. Draper became chief deputy prosecutor for Lake County, Indiana in 1923. Draper was elected to the Indiana Supreme Court in 1950, taking office on January 2, 1951.

Draper died in Bradenton, Florida.
