HARMON V. FRAZER. This venerated citizen of Homer Township is approaching the 
seventy-fourth year of his age, having been born October 6, 1816, and his 
native State was New York. His parents were James G. and Polly (Hawkins) 
Frazer, natives of Connecticut, whence they emigrated to Monroe County, N. Y., 
settling near the town of Pittsford. Later in life they joined their children 
in this county, and spent their last days in Homer Township. There was born to 
them a family of five sons and four daughters, nine in all, and Harmon V. was 
the third in order of birth. He lived in his native State until about thirty-
four years old. In the meantime Mr. Frazer was married in Pitteford, N. Y., 
September 16, 1847, to Miss Samantha Warren. In October, 1849, they came to 
this county and settled in Homer Township, of which they have since been 
residents. Mrs. Frazer was born April 3, 1825, in Pitcher, Chenango County, N. 
Y., and was the second in a family of ten children, five of whom are living. 
Her parents, Ely and Sarah (Ferguson) Warren, were natives of New York and 
spent their last years in that State. Mr. Frazer's farm comprises one hundred 
and twenty acres of good land, which through his management has become very 
fertile, yielding the richest crops in Northern Illinois. He has neat and 
substantial buildings, and by the assistance of his good wife has been enabled 
to accumulate a competence for their declining years. They have no children. 
In politics Mr. Frazer gives his undivided support to the Prohibition party, 
being totally opposed to the manufacture and sale of intoxicating liquors. He 
and his wife are prominently connected with the Methodist Episcopal Church, 
and enjoy the friendship and acquaintance of the best residents of the county, 
who have known them long and well and learned to appreciate them for their 
sterling worth. Mr. Frazer is genial and hospitable, while his estimable wife 
is in no wise lacking in those qualities which have gained them a good 
position in their community, where they are universally spoken of as being 
among the most worthy.
