OBITUARY

MRS. J. S. FRAZIER

The children of the late Mrs. Frazier arrived late Tuesday night with the body of their mother, having made the trip from Portland, Oregon, on schedule time. The funeral was conducted Wednesday morning at nine-thirty at the home of Judge and Mrs. Dyer, there being in attendance a large company of old friends and neighbors, The services were fittingly conducted by Rev. Everett Dean Martin of Des Moines, pastor of the Unitarian church in that city and the interment was in the Nevada cemetery.

Mrs. Frazier was born Anna Green, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. James Green at Baltimore, Maryland, March 17, 1850; she was married to James Shaw Frazier at Nevada, Iowa, November 13, 1875, and she died in Portland, Oregon, July 15, 1911, aged 61 years, 3 months and 28 days. Her family migrated to Nevada when she was five years old and when the village was also in its infancy, and here she grew up and resided for substantially all her life. For the greater part of her married life the Frazier family lived in the home across the creek; but nearly twenty years ago Mr. Frazier built the home on 1st avenue south, where he died November 13, 1899. There Mrs. Frazier continued to live with her children, Zoa, Sebina and Max, although the home was temporarily broken up while the children were attending college and she was with them at Iowa City. In 1909 she accompanied her daughters to the northwest, where they were teaching, their residence being for a year in Washington and then for the past year at Portland. In all her life Mrs. Frazier was a woman who met faithfully her responsibilities, and at her funeral the mourners were both numerous and sincere. Besides her children mentioned there was also an elder son who died in infancy; and other surviving relatives are her sister, Mrs. Mary Reeves, of Stromsburg, Nebraska, who was here for the funeral, and an absent brother, Charles Green.

The return of the Misses Fraizer [sic] with their brother and their mother's body from Portland is a final return. They will not go back there but have gone today with their brother, Dr. Max Frazier, to Oskaloosa, where they will all have their home for the present.
