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

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.
