Mr. Frazier, who was 85 years of age, was born on King Edward Island, Nova Scotia, and arrived in the United States when a boy. He served with the line for four years during the Civil War, and was afterwards made a citizen of the United States by act of congress. He was a charter member of Canby Post G.A.R. and had lived in Hood River 39 years, where his family have grown up. Besides his widow, he leaves six daughters and two sons to mourn his death. The funeral was held at the Anderson parlors on Thursday afternoon, and many friends of the family and practically all members of the G.A.R. were present. A large number of floral tributes were sent. The remains were buried at Idlewilde. This was posted for reference only. I am not related to, nor am I researching this family.
