Frazier at the age of seventy-two years She died at the home of her daugh ter, Mrs. Ben Knott near Oak Hill, wihere she had lived since the death of her husband several years ago. She has been an invlid for two or three years and her death was not unexpected. She united with Mountain Creek Baptist church at an early age and remained a true and faithful member until her death- She loved her church and always attended services regularly until she was unable to do so. She will be sadly missed, in her church and community in which she lived for her true christian con duct.

To these we extend our heartfelt sympathy in this trying hour and point them to Him or comfort, who doeth all things well, and while their less is great we know it is her eternal gain.
