Hello list,   I'm the Historian for the Fayette City Legion Women's Auxiliary and while going through old papers . I came across some that deal with a Mr Robert S Frazer he was a Supreme Court Judge. Mr Frazer was born in Fayette City. the Auxiliary members find  this fascinating that a member from their community was a Supreme Court Judge and would like to know more about the man  I goggled his name and was not able to find much about him. the political grave yard  site had this info on him   * Frazer, Robert Sellers (born c.1850) — also known as Robert S. Frazer — of Pittsburgh, Allegheny County, Pa. Born in Fayette City, Fayette County, Pa. Son of Caleb T. Frazer and Sarah J. (Baker) Frazer; married, September 25, 1879, to Loretta Gilfillan (died 1908). Republican. Lawyer; member of Pennsylvania state house of representatives, 1877-79; common pleas court judge in Pennsylvania, 1897-1914; justice of Pennsylvania state supreme court, 1915-36; chief justice of Pennsylvania state supreme court, 1930-36. Presbyterian. Burial location unknown.   I'm interested in knowing his death date & burial place , photos   I know Mr Frazer has relatives buried in the Fayette City Cemetery he wrote that in his letter there are no headstones for his parents in the Fayette City Cemetery so if anyone is related to Mr Frazer and know where his parents are buried especially if they are buried in the Fayette City cemetery I'd appreciate that info                                                                                                                                              any help is greatly appreciated                                                                                                                                                    Sherry

Sherry: I searched Google books and find the following; Robert was born Sept. 15, 1849, d. in Pittsburgh July 31, 1936. You should be able to use Google news archive to find an obit.
