Rebecca Jenkinson Frazee 0S



We were pained to hear of the death on yesterday of Mrs. Frazee, wife of Mr. W. D. Frazee, of this city. Mrs. Frazee has for years been suffering from that dread disease, consumption, and with the knowledge of her approaching dissolution continually before her, she continued cheerful to the last. She was honored and respected by all who were fortunate enough to have her acquaintance, and a host of friends followed her to her last resting place. In her, her husband has lost a faithful wife and her children, a fond mother. In common with the entire community, we extend our sympathy to the bereaved family.

San Bernardino Daily Times, September 4, 1876

Poor Great, Great, Great, Grandmother, for her death record she doesn't merit a first name and no one said that she was from Piqua, Ohio.  She's listed as 61 when my records say she was 49.  Then again this says she died on August 20, 1876 and she died on September 3, 1876.

I got this so I could find out what happened to her son Francis who was reported to have died in 1878, but apparently not in San Bernardino.  Instead I find out some things I "know" about her, I didn't really know.  Next search location - Los Angeles County.



Was this Francis James Frazee's cemetery record? The San Bernardino Valley Genealogical Society at the Public Library sys that they have Newspaper records on microfilm from 1867-1948, Pioneer and Agua Mansa cemetery burial records, and City Directories from 1887 to 1968. The latter is important to identify who Delilah Frazee is who died in Jan. 1890 in order to help find if there actually was a 61-year-old Mrs. Frazee who died in San Bernardino in 1876 two weeks before Rebecca.  Unfortunately, the library wants to charge us $20 per hour for the research, so I'm putting it off to see if I can find it for free.
