The Times, Missouri Valley, Harrison County, IA, Friday August 7, 1938, page 4:

Mrs. Emily Frazier, daughter of John C. and Elizabeth (Hibbs) Frazier, was born at Reelsville, IN on April 27, 1842 and died at her home in Missouri Valley, IA, on July 25, 1936, aged 94 years, 2 months and 28 days.

Her marriage took place in Harrison County January 22, 1860, when she became the life companion of Thomas F. Frazier who preceded her in death May 31, 1905. Her husband was a Civil War Veteran, while this good woman waited and labored patiently at home for the return of her soldier husband at the close of that war. Mrs. Frazier shared with her husband many of the inconveniences and privations of pioneer life which developed in her a sturdy character and physique which laid the foundation for the long and useful life she lived.

Mrs. Frazier became the mother of 9 children, 4 of whom are deceased. Orville died in infancy, Ida Puddy whose home was in Mt. Hood, Oregon, Minnie Taylor, who died June 20, 1927 at Council Bluffs, IA, and Elsie Riley who died at Missouri Valley while temporarily away from her home at Royal, Nebraska, last December 19. The five surviving children are Mary Fry, Crawford, Nebraska; Arthur C. Frazier, Springfield, MO; Elmer Frazier, Logan, IA; Carie Williams, Casper, Wyoming and Iona Davis, Alhambra, California. There are 24 grandchildren and several great and great great grandchildren who survive Mrs. Frazier. These with other relatives and a host of friends and neighbors remain to mourn the loss of the one they had learned to love through the passing of the years. Mrs. Frazier was the last of a family of 9 brothers and 5 half-brothers, all of whom have "gone before." (NOTE: She actually had 6 sisters and 3 full brothers, plus 4 older half-brothers. Kent Myrick)

In spite of her advanced age, "Grandma" Frazier retained her faculties and her ability to attend to her business affairs even up until her last sickness, which was aggravated by the excessive heat. She died in her own home where she had lived for 45 years. Carrie and Elmer were with her all through her last sickness.
