Roxbury, July 27.—^Dr. Harold W. Draffen of Kew Gardens, L. I., died of a heart attack June 20. Dr. Draffen, who was an alumnus of Roxbury high school, class of 1916, had planned on attending graduation the day he suffered his fatal heart attack.
Dr. Draffen was the son of the late William H. Draffen and Jennie Meeker Draffen, both former Roxbury residents. However, Dr. Draffen was born in Grand Gorge and spent his early life there, commuting to Roxbury school, from which he graduated. Later his parents moved to Roxbury, where his father had a store many years, and their last days were spent here. Dr. Draffen’s only brother, Ralph, died several years ago at Grand Glorge, where he was a well-known merchant.
Dr. Draffen graduated from New York university and medical school after leaving here, and he was a noted surgeon in New York for many years. He was about 66. He is survived by a son, William, also a doctor, and two daughters, Jean Ann and Mimi.
