Mr. Frazier has lived under the ad-
ministrations of two-thirds of the
presidents of the United States. He
served ii months in the civil war and
has a distinct remembrance of the
personality of Abraham Lincoln. He
was a member Of the first board of
county commissioners of Latah coun-
ty, receiving his appointment, as did
j. L. Naylor and w. W. Langdon, the
other members of the board, direct
from President Cleveland. The coun-
ty was created in 1883 by act of con-
greSs.
While Mr. Frazier is well to. do,
owning considerable valuable Latah
county property, his wealth would
have been much greater had he not
been willing to aid his neighbors in
the early days of the country. He
lost many thousands of dollars by go
ing security for others, in order to
tide them over the hard times in the
early nineties. This, however, was
characteristic Of the pioneer spirit
and Mr.. Frazier is a pioneer of pio-
