The couple moved to Albany, New York, after Andrew Sloan Draper began working for the New York Department of Education. Harlan later worked for New York State College, where he received his Ph.D. in 1918. Gioga passed away in 1926, and Harlan and Henrietta married in 1928. After graduating from the University of Illinois, Henrietta became a high school and university science teacher.

Both Henrietta and Harlan were scholars of Abraham Lincoln. They donated their personal library of Lincoln material to the University of Illinois Library in 1951.

Removed items include an original letter from Horace Greeley to a would-be reporter (now MS 1099) and the research material and manuscripts for Henrietta’s scholarship on Nancy Hanks Lincoln, mother of Abraham Lincoln, and her ancestor in colonial Virginia (now MS 1201). These collections were moved to form new archival collections in October 2021.
