DEATH OF PROF. FRAZIER
Prof. Geo. H. Frazier died Sunday afternoon at 2 o'clock at the home of his father three miles from this city, after a lingering illness of more than a years. The trouble was originally bronchitis and derangement of the stomach which resulted later in consumption.
Prof. Frazier was born in Ohio in 1855 and after a liberal education he became a teacher int he public school of the place in which he lived, and with great acceptance pursued his profession. Six years ago he came out to Missouri, where he again took up his profession and served with marked success one year in the country and two years in the public school of Carthage, being advanced from one position to another; in all of which he showed himself master.
He was then offered the principalship of the schools of Sarcoxie, accepting which, he served in that capacity for two years, until a better and more responsible position was offered him in Peirce City, where he remained until declining health compelled him to give up the work.
Prof. Frazier had the peculiar faculty of making warm and enduring friends wherever he might be. At Carthage, though some time has elapsed since he left, there are true friends by the score here who deeply mourn his early departure. Especially is this so at Sarcoxie and Peirce City where he last engaged in teaching, and the memory of him is more vivid in the minds of his pupils. A delegation was sent to him on Sabbath to express the deep sympathy of his friends with him in his sufferings. Another delegation was sent to be present at the funeral which took place from the M.E. [Methodist Episcopal] church Monday at 11 o'clock.
The funeral services were conducted by Rev. A.R. Cronce, who made a brief but touching address of eulogy upon his life. Rev. Mr. Hoover also made a short but appropriate address. Mr. and Mrs. Stevenson and Mrs. Wheatley furnished some sweet and touching music for the occasion.
