DEATH CALLS
ESR. j. A. FRASER

Tuesday morning the people of Ka-
doda were panied to receive a mes
sage from Chamberlain announcing
the death of Mr.. } A. Fraser who
passed away about six O'Clock that
morning. Eearly las: summer mir.
Fraser was stricken with stroke Of
appoplexy and was taken to Che Sam
itarium for treatment, and after spend
lug time there he returned to Kado-
ka to look after his business interests
here, but did not improve in health
any and about six weeks ago again
returned TO the Sanitarium and grad
ually grew weaker until Monday night
when he suffered a second stroke of
the dread disease and the following
morning the death angel called and
relieved his sufferings. For some
time past it was realized that Mr..
Fraser could not live long, yet the
announcement of his death came as a
severe shock to his hosts OF friends
here.
Mr.. Fraser came to Eadoka about
six years ago and started harness
shop and continued in that business
until about year ago when he added
stock of hardware to his line. Every
body who came in contact with Mr..
Fraser was numbered among his
friends as he was a quiet unassaming
gentleman and gave his entire atten-
ton to his business, and his death re-
moves one of our most prominent
business men.
The romans were shipped from
Chamberlain to Longmont, Colorado,
where they will be laid to rest by the
side of his wife and baby child who
died several years ago. The deceas-
ed leaves a brother who lives at AL
falfa, Washington, and other relatives
and to these the sincere sympathy of
all OF our people is extended.
