Big Timber Pioneer, June 13, 2013
Gladys Taylor Frazier died peacefully on June 6 at her home in Big Timber. She was born Oct. 2, 1919, the youngest of eight children of Cromwell A. Taylor and Ida King Taylor of Pine Bluff, Ark.
On Sept 3, 1944 she married Willian F. Frazier, Sr., and they remained hand in hand until his death in 2007. She spent the war years in the San Francisco area where her husband was stationed in the U. S. Navy. After then War, they moved to his hometown of Decatur, Ala., where they remained until their move to Billings in 1998. Following Bill Sr.'s death, Gladys moved to Big Timber to be near her son and daughter-in-law. Here, she made new friends and especially enjoyed lunches and friendship at the Hospitality House.
She was the epitome of a true southern lady, always gracious, generous and dignified. She took great pride in her family and service to their country dating back into the 1600s, and including Founding Fathers, at least one president , senators, congressmen, generals, diplomats and two grandfathers who were Confederate cavalry officers. Following the Civil War, these two grandfathers moved to Arkansas from South Carolina, farmed and raised horses for the U. S. Cavalry during the Indian Wars in the West.
Apart from family, her greatest interest was probably history, and had a house full of antiques and historical mementoes to show for it. She was a member of the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) for more than 60 years.
Having outlived nearly all of her family and friends, she is survived by her son, Bill Frazier and daughter-in-law, Debbie, of Big Timber, and a number of nieces and nephews and great nieces and nephews around the United States. She was a role model for many and will be greatly missed.
