Joseph P. FRAZER Obituary
Surnames: FRAZER, CAMPBELL, HICKS, PREDMORE

Died, Nov. 29, 1886 at 4 pm of heart disease Joseph P. Frazer, of Lyons,
Walworth Co, Wis.

The deceased was born Dec. 31, 1816.  About 25 years ago he came from
Victor, Ontario, N.Y.  He was born in Sussex Co., N.J. to Geneva, and
not long after settled in Lyons, where he has ever since resided.

Mr. Frazer had the respect and love of our citizens as an upright
business man a kind neighbor, a good husband, a faithful friend of the
cause of temperance, and a consistent member of the Methodist church.
20 years ago he united with the society here by letter from an eastern
church and ever since has been to us an active worker and loyal
supporter of the church of his choice.  At the time of his death he
held the offices of steward and trustee.

He died very suddenly giving no last messages but told his pastor
during his last sickness that "although he enjoyed life as well as
anyone, if God should call him now he was ready to go;" and less than
a month before his death he gave a clear and cheering Christian
experience in class meeting.

He leaves to mourn his loss a wife to whom he had been married scarcely
three years, and one child, son of a former wife.

The funeral took place from the church, under the direction of the
Temple of Honor, of which he was a member.  The religous services were
conducted by his pastor, the writer.  

The sermon was preached from PHIL. 1; 21

The bereaved wife has the sympathy of the community, who with her,
mourn the loss of a kindly, affectionate Christian gentleman.

*The son that is spoken of was Walter Campbell Frazer.
