Thomas K. Frazier, an old and highly respected citizen of Nichols Township, was
born in Jackson County, Alabama, February 20, 1833. His father and mother were
natives of North Carolina and Alabama, respectively, and were the parents of
twelve children, only four of whom are living now. Thomas accompanied his
parents to Mississippi, where he spent his youth, and attended such schools as
the country then afforded, and at the age of 19 years began actual life on his
own hook, by engaging in farming. In February, 1852, he was united in marriage
to Rhoda P. Green, a native of the State of Mississippi. To this union were born
but two children, George N., and one who died in infancy. Mrs. Frazier died in
1858, after a short married life of six years, and in 1859 our subject married
Sarah A. Wells, also a native of Mississippi. Seven children were the result of
this union, named Thomas M., Joseph R., Minerva J., Emily C., and Mary E.
(twins). James. Mary and James are deceased. The second Mrs. Frazier died July,
1878, and Mr. Frazier was then the third time united in marriage, this time to
Martha Davis, his present wife, and a native of Mississippi too. Mr. Frazier is
one of the good farmers of Conway County. He owns a tract of eighty acres, with
forty-five under cultivation, all well stocked and improved. Socially Mr.
Frazier is a member of the Masonic fraternity, Cleveland Lodge, No. 473, and
religiously he and Mrs. Frazier are members of the Methodist Episcopal Church,
South.
