HOBERT L. FRAZIER.

	Hobert L. Frazler is filling the office of deputy sheriff of Weld 
county and, furthermore, deserves mention in this volume as a 
representative of one of the oldest and best known pioneer families of 
the state. He was born near Johnstown, Colorado, in July, 1880, a son 
of Sylvester and Eugenic (McCune) Frazier, the former a native of Ohio, 
while the mother's birth occurred in Kentucky. It was in the year 1866 
that Sylvester Frazier arrived in Colorado at a period when the work of 
progress and development seemed scarcely begun within the borders of 
the state. He turned his attention to the live stock business, In which 
he engaged for many years, winning success by the careful and 
systematic manner in which he conducted his interests. He was afterward 
appointed to the position of under-sheriff of Weld county at the time 
when the county seat was at Evans, Colorado. He continued to act in 
that capacity for about four years and later was appointed under-
sheriff at Greeley after the county seat was removed to the latter 
place. He continued to make his home in Greeley throughout his 
remaining days and was one of its valued and respected citizens. He 
served for two years during the Civil war in defense of the Union cause 
as a member of Company A of the Eighth Ohio Infantry and throughout his 
entire life his career was characterized by marked fidelity to duty. He 
died in April, 1908, having for about eleven years survived his wife, 
who had passed away In September, 1897.

	Hobert L. Frazier was reared and educated in Greeley, Colorado, 
and after his textbooks were put aside he began farming on his own 
account, devoting about five years to agricultural pursuits. He was 
then appointed deputy sheriff and has since served in that capacity 
during the last three terms of office, or for a period of over thirteen 
years. This fact indicates most clearly that he has been thoroughly 
competent in the position and that he enjoys in the fullest measure the 
esteem of his superior officers.

	In November, 1902, Mr. Frazier was united In marriage to Miss Ida 
Goetter, a daughter of Fred and Mary Goetter, who were natives of 
Germany and came to America in early life. After residing for a time in 
Illinois and Nebraska they removed to Colorado and Mr. Goetter took up 
the occupation of farming in this state, devoting his attention to 
general agricultural pursuits until the time of his retirement from 
active business about 1906. He afterward removed to Portland, Oregon, 
where he now resides, being most pleasantly situated in that beautiful 
city of roses. His wife is also living. To Mr. and Mrs. Frazier have 
been born three children, namely: Merle W. Frederick S. and Eugene H., 
all of whom are now in school.

	Mr. Frazier is a member of the Woodmen of the World. His 
political allegiance has always been given to the republican party 
since age conferred upon him the right of franchise and his religious 
faith is that of the Presbyterian church. Those who know him, and he 
has a wide acquaintance, esteem him as a man of genuine worth, enjoying 
in full measure the goodwill and confidence of those with whom he has 
been brought in contact. He is a representative of one of the old 
families of the state and has himself been a resident within its 
borders for thirty-eight years, so that he has witnessed much of its 
growth and development.
