OBITUARY
Theodore A. Frazier, son of William Frazier, was born at Hickory, Lake county, Illinois, August 23, 1859. He was married on November 12, 1884, to Nettie G. Paddock, Grass Lake, Illinois. They made their home in Warren township one year, moving from there to Hickory, where they lived until the year of 1920. To this union were born three children.
Upon his retirement the farm was sold and Mr. and Mrs. Frazier then moved to Bluff lake, where they resided for five years. They then purchased the present home at Lake Villa.
About a year ago Mr. Frazier's health slowly began to fail. On the evening of May 29, 1929, his condition became serious and he was taken to the Victory Memorial hospital at Waukegan, Illinois. His wife and children were in constant attendance here, hoping for his speedy recovery, but at 10:30 Thursday morning, June 6, he willingly answered his Father's call.
Mr. Frazier's many acts of kindness will long be remembered by his many friends.
He leaves to mourn his loss his widow, Nettie, and their children, Mrs. Charles Griffin, Antioch; Mrs. Bert Logan, Evanston; and Walter I. Frazier, Chicago; also one brother, Thomas W. Frazier, Waukegan.
