Obituary for William Frazier (1828-1906)
Uncited clipping.

WILLIAM FRAZIER was born in Shelby County, Kentucky, September 23, 1828. At the age of 9 years he came with his father to Lincoln County, Missouri, who settled near New Hope. The most of Elder FRAZIER'S life has been spent in Lincoln County, except sixteen years in Colusa, California and two years in Iowa. His father died when Wm. was 15 years old and for many years the care of the family fell upon him. He confessed his faith in his divine Lord and Savior under the preaching of Elder Joseph Errett at New Hope and presented himself to Bro. Errett for baptism saying,"See, here is water what doeth hinder me from being baptized?" and was "buried with his Lord by baptism," and received into the fellowship of the church at New Hope. Early in his Christian life he was set apart to the office of Elder in the Church of Christ and he served the church in that capacity most conscientiously and faithfully. Brother FRAZIER was united in marriage to Fannie BLANTON in the early 50's (1850's that is j.g.), which union continued about six years. His second marriage was with Sarah ROBINSON, and several years later he was again called to part with a loved companion. His last marriage was to Orpha Virginia CASH, nee BROWN on November 16, 1873, and his death occurred on the 33rd anniversary of this marriage, falling sweetly asleep in Jesus at 3:30 p.m. on the 16th of November 1906.------
