FROM HOLLIDAYSBURG.
DEATH OF AN OLD CITIZEN.

  Simon Frazier, an old gentleman about 86 years of age, died yesterday 
morning in this place.  He lived for many years in the Loop, near the 
reservoir, but his wife being dead and his children being married or 
removed, he came to this place and made his home with some of his 
relatives, at whose residence he died.  He sold his farm to a widow 
lady named Robinson, and, we understand, the purchase money was not to 
be paid until five years after his death.  Mr. Frazier had been ailing 
for a long time, and as long as he was able to be about he would go up 
the street and was generally to be seen at the office of his lawyer, 
Mr. H. M. Baldrige.  About two years ago he jointed the Lutheran Church 
and was regular in attendance.

THREE WIVES EACH.

  The late Simon Frazier, whose death was noticed a few days ago, was 
one of four brothers, each and all of whom had three wives.  Mr. 
Frazier, although married three different times, died childless.  His 
first wife was Polly McCloskey, sister of the late Patrick McCloskey; 
the second was Elizabeth Raymond, and the third Mary Rorabacher, sister 
of Richard Rorabacher.  She died a few years ago in the same house that 
her husband lived in.  Mr. Frazier was born on the farm near Look 
station, known as the Abraham Robeson farm.
