Mr. FRAZEE was born in Milford township, Butler county, Ohio, November 26, 1848, a son of Squire FRAZEE, the latter born near Carthage, Hamilton county, a son of Maxwell FRAZEE, of New Jersey. Maxwell FRAZEE married Lydia BUNNELL, who was born in 1790, and who was but one year old when taken by her parents to the present site of Cincinnati, a community then known as Columbia. For a number of years the grandparents resided on a farm two and one-half miles west of Somerville, where the grandfather died in 1855 and the grandmother in 1879 at the age of eighty-nine years. They had five children: Caleb, who went to Indiana, where he died; Squire, the father of Robert; Edwin, ! who was a farmer of Milford township; Jane, the wife of Cyrus WILBURTON, of Parke county, Ind.; and Sarah, who married Benjamin P. KENNEDY, of Rush county, Ind. Squire FRAZEE was educated in the home schools, and practically his entire life was passed on the farm in Milford township, two and one-half miles west of Somerville. He was an industrious man and skilled farmer, made a success of his undertakings, and died in comfortable circumstances. He was a staunch Democrat and he and his wife were Universalists. She bore the maiden name of Mary IRVIN, and they were the parents of four children: Sarah, deceased, who was the wife of the late A. J. KENNEDY; Annie, deceased, who was the wife of the late Wilson KENNEDY; Robert, and Lewis B., a retired farmer of Camden, Ohio. Robert FRAZEE was educated in the home schools of Milford township, and remained under the roof of his parents until his marriage, August 27, 1874, to Mary, daughter of James M. and Sylvia Ann (ANTRIM) YOU! NG, the latter a daughter of John Antrim. Mr. Young was a farmer all of his life and a Republican in politics, and he and Mrs. YOUNG were members of the Methodist Episcopal church. His death occurred in April, 1914, when he was eighty-one years of age, while Mrs. YOUNG passed away February 12, 1894, at the age of fifty-nine years. They were the parents of four daughters: Alice, the widow of John SHAFFER, of Seven Mile; Mrs. FRAZEE; Lulu, the wife of David McCUNE, of Miami, Fla.; and Eva, who married John DUFFIELD, of Somerville, Ohio. To Mr. and Mrs. FRAZEE there have been born two daughters: Sadie, the wife of G. H. OREN, a merchant of Somerville; and Edith, the wife of John C. BARNETT, postmaster and a merchant at Seven Mile. During the entire period of his active career Mr. FRAZEE had been farmer, but in December, 1906, retired from active pursuits and moved to Somerville, where he has a pleasant home. He owned and rented his farm property until 1917, in which year he disposed of his 148 acres. He has never been an office seeker, and! his only connection with politics has been as a Democratic voter. With his family he belongs to the Presbyterian church. As a good citizen and a man of marked integrity and probity, he is held in high esteem and respect in his community. on page 244 in bio of George W. GARNER, it mentions "Alfred JOHNSON (GARNER), deceased, a banker of Hamilton, who married Carrie FRAZEE." on page 350 in bio of Jacob A. INMAN, it mentions he "returned to his home, where he remained, taking care of his parents until his marriage, February 13, 1879, to Sarah M. FRAZEE, who was born in 1849, at Billingsville, Ind., daughter of Edwin and Hannah (BAKER) FRAZEE, natives of New Jersey who came early to Ohio. They first located in Hamilton county, but subsequently moved to two miles west of Somerville, farming there for a few years, and then moving one mile nearer to the city where both died. They had five children: Mrs. INMAN; Samuel, a farmer living one mile west of Somerville; Laura, the wife of John HELVEY, both now deceased; Lydia, deceased, who was the wife of the late R. BENNETT; and Caleb, who died in infancy."
