tonflned to his bed for nearly fort
hight, death being due to paralysis
which also affected his mental faculties.
The deceased was thirty-seven years
of age and was son of the late Homer
n. Frazier for many years editor and
proprietor of the Independent Republic
ram Mr.. Frazier inherited the ability
pf his father in the newspaper line and
held o. position OH the staff of the SEN
finel, a paper formerly published in
Montrose. before accepting the position
of editorial writer and local editor on
The Republican, which he held at the
time previous to his death. He also
had remarkable talent as an artist and
caricaturist his skill with the crayon
always being, called into requisition
when q political battle was In progress
To portray the issues Of his opponents
In ludicrous light. Nor was his
genius confined to the drawing of car
toons, for many were the beautiful
paintings which he wrought with mas
terful skill. His early education was
received in the Montrose high school
and later he received higher training
at Claverack college in the state OF
New York. Upon confession of faith he
was entered as a member into the
Presbyterian church of this place In
1887. The funeral services were held
from his late home Saturday afternoon,
at g o'clock, Rev. j. w. Cooper, of the
Methodist Episcopal church, officiating,
assisted by Rev. DR.. Easson, of Balti-
more, who is occupying the pulpit OF
the Presbyterian church at present, as
that church has no regular pastor.
'Nearer, MY God to Thee was sweetly
rendered by quartette composed of
Mrs H. w. Beach, Miss Anna Harring-
ton, l.. r. Ellsworth and Joseph f.
Barney. DR.. Easson read comforting
verses from scripture and offered u
fervent, earnest prayer. Rev. Cooper
!. spoke consolingly from a text found
In Heb. 9:27: "And it is appointed unto
men once once to die," after which he
Offered short prayer. A hymn

Leonard, r. b. Little, Searle McCollum
and H. II. Fordham, conveyed the re-
mains to the hearse, and the funeral
rortege wound it's way to the cemetery,
which was not far distant. A short

their last resting place. The deceased
is survived by his wife and little son,
Homer, his mother, Mrs. Caroline B.
< Watrous, and three sisters, Misses

His many pleasing characteristics are
we'll known to his numerous friends,
and no eulogy can be written that
would overrate his many noble traits
of character. For some time Mr.. Fra
zier had been the writer of the Mont
rose correspondence to the Tribune and
as a terse,A yet fluent writer he was
unequalled. 1t would be useless to re-
call the excellent qualities which made
him the gifted man he was, but suf-
ficient is it to say that in his death
the town has sustained q loss which
never can be replaced.
