Doniphan Blair Frazee - 4

OBITUARY

The community was shocked Thursday afternoon by the news of the sudden death of Don Frazee of South Oceanside.  He had been in this city that morning on business, apparently in his usual health.  He returned home for dinner and having finished eating, remarked that he felt sick and in a few minutes was dead.  Dr. Nichols was summoned as soon as possible but death came before he arrived.  The cause was heart failure.  The funeral took place Friday afternoon and the remains were interred in South Oceanside cemetery.


Doniphan Blair Frazee was born in Indianapolis, Ind., July 27, 1862. He came to California in 1872 residing in San Bernardino, moved from there to Winchester and in 1882 came to San Luis Rey valley and has resided at this place or at South Oceanside since.  He was Justice of the Peace for two terms, has been deputy sheriff for the past six years.  At the time of his death he was engaged in boring wells, having several contracts on hand.  He leaves a wife and six children. His father who survives him is with his brother, I. J. Frazee, of Moosa, the other brother, Will, is in Arizona in a printing business and a sister, Miss Belle, is teacher in the San Diego schools. These with many other relatives and friends mourn the death of one who was a kind husband and father, a genial friend and neighbor.
