Children

General Notes: Husband - Thomas Frazier, Esq.


In his boyhood he attended the district schools and also for a time West Alexander Academy, and thereafter entered Jefferson College, from which he graduated about 1831. After leaving college he engaged in merchandising in West Alexander, Pennsylvania, where he remained for several years, when he removed to Concord, Ohio, and continued in business as a merchant. He remained there but two years, when he returned to the farm whereon he was born, and engaged in farming and general stock-raising. In 1869 he moved from the farm to the borough of West Alexander, which was his home until his death.
He was a lifelong Democrat, and was elected to a number of important local offices. For the office of justice of the peace, to which he was twice elected, he showed a peculiar fitness.

He practiced civil engineering and surveying for a time, and he it was who surveyed the West Alexander cemetery, where his remains now repose.
He was a member of the Presbyterian Church.
