Felix Frazier - maybe sp Frasier
A couple of newspaper articles about a lost Frazier--maybe spelled Frasier--he must belong to some Frazier/Frasier family somewhere, some mother, father, or sibling always wondered, but never knew what happened to him.The first article goes into lengthy, gory detail as was the fashion in journalism back then. I'm not a Frasier family researcher, but if you are interested, post a message for more info.

Felix Frazier was a man about 38 years of age, a painter by trade, and came to Newkirk about one year ago. He was a good mechanic and has been employed from time to time at good wages. He was a victim of strong drink and frequently got on protracted sprees. Thursday he had been drinking very had and was last seen alive about 9 o’clock Thursday evening in an intoxicated condition. The next seen of the unfortunate man is later told by the testimony of witnesses at the coroner’s inquest at police headquarters Friday afternoon.
