Mr. J. Mack FRAZER, 71 years old, well-known local citizen, died at 9:45 O'Clock

oldest daughter, Miss Laura McCORKLE FRAZER, died here in 1932. Mr. and Mrs.

Danville, at various times. He was connected with the Southern Railroad System
for thirty-five years and retired from his duties as an engineer in 1937
returning to Columbia to make his home. He was a member of the Christian Church
and a splendid gentleman of outstanding character, admired by family, friends
