From The History of Mower County, 1911:

William A. Frazer, M. D., a well-liked physician and surgeon, of Lyle, was born in Bedford, Bedford county, Pennsylvania, August 5, 1850, son of William and Hanna (Davis) Frazer, with whom he went to Illinois in 1861, and to Arkansas in 1868, William Frazer dying in 1885 and Hanna Frazer in 1878. William A. attended the public schools of Illinois and Arkansas, and then entered the University of Kansas City, graduating from the medical department in 1886. In addition to this he has taken special courses in postgraduate work in Chicago in 1890, 1896 and 1900, thus keeping thoroughly abreast with the latest developments in the realms of medicine and surgery.

After practicing in Lynn county, Kansas, in a village called Blooming Grove, Dr. Frazer came to Lyle in 1888 and has since maintained his office here, having a large practice in village and county. Being thoroughly ethical in his profession, he has allied himself with the American, the Minnesota State and the Mower County Medical Associations, of which latter he has served as president. He is at present the village health officer, has been justice of the peace, and belongs to the Masons, the Knights of Phythias and the Modern Brotherhood of America. He is a Prohibitionist in politics, and in religion holds to the stern tenets of the Quakers, though he attends the Congregational church.

Dr. Frazer married Viola Clementine Johnson, of Hindsville, Ark., the ceremony taking place February 3, 1875. This union has been blessed with six children, four of whom are living: May is a student at one of the colleges at Oxford University, Oxford, England; Ray is manager of the Lyle Corrugated Culvert Company, at Minneapolis; J. D. lives at home and is an insurance agent; William M. is a student in the University of Minnesota.
