Donald Blair Frazee - 46

Donald Frazee, Pioneer Family Descendant, Dies

OCEANSIDE – Donald Frazee, 76, a life-long resident of Oceanside and a member of one of the city’s earliest and most prominent families, died Sunday.

Frazee, who died in a Carlsbad rest home, was employed with the California Division of Highways as a foreman for many years. He was also a member of the Oceanside Elks Club.

As a boy, Frazee served as a guide and a scout for visitors from the east coast.

Three generations of the Frazee family have made their contributions to Oceanside, beginning with his grandfather, W. D. Frazee.

He wrote an early history of Oceanside that is still used today, entitled “Oceanside, the Gateway of all San Diego County.”

Frazee’s father, Doniphan Frazee, was an important developer in Oceanside, in addition to being its first justice of the peace. His mother was the town’s first teacher.

Survivors include his wife, Eleanor Frazee; his daughter Peggy Myers, and a granddaughter, Nancy.

Services will be held at 10 A.M. Wednesday in the Eternal Hills Mortuary in Oceanside.
