«b»History of Pottawattamie Countym Iowa From the Earliest Times to 1907 by Homer H. Field and Hon. Joseph R. Reed - c 1907
«/b»Dr. J. W. Frazier, who is now engaged in the practice of medicine and also devotes a portion of his time to farming in Honey Creek, was born in this place on the 16 October 1860.  His father, Alfred Frazier, was a native of Putnam County, Indiana born 13 March 1837, and his life record covered a period of sixty-five years, his death occurring at Honey Creek in 1902.  His wife, who in her maidenhood was Julianna Wild, was born in England 9 November 1837, and she passed away several years prior to her husband's death, being called to her final rest in Honey Creek in 1894.  they were the parents of five children, of whom three are yet living:  J.W.; Mrs. Mary F. White, of Honey Creek; and Eunice, who is living with her brother, Dr. Frazier.  Our subject's grandfather was killed by a passenger train in January 1900 at the age of eighty-nine years.

In October 1854, Alfred Frazier came to Pottawattamie County with his parents, and both he and his father purchased and also entered land from the government.  He was married here and always owned land but never did much work in tilling the soil.  He engaged, however, in dealing in grain and livestock and for some years was engaged in merchandising.  In his various business interests he met with success, owing to his capable management and well directed labor.  In politics he was always a stalwart republican throughout his entire life and he served as postmaster at Honey Creek from 1867 to 1890, or for a period of twenty-three years.  He was likewise a notary public and filled all of the township offices, the duties of which he discharged with promptness, fidelity and courtesy.

Dr. Frazier spent his boyhood days at Honey Creek, where he acquired a common-school education.  Determining to engage in the practice of medicine as a life work, he matriculated int he University of Nebraska, from which he was graduated in 1887.  Ambitious to gain a still broader knowledge concerning the best methods of medicinal practice he entered the Jefferson Medical College at Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and was there graduated in 1889 while in 1890 he did post-graduate work in the Chicago Polyclinic and in 1894 in the Post-Graduate University Medical College at Kansas City.  He has done the utmost to familiarize himself with the best methods of practice, has kept in touch with the onward march of the profession and his ability was recognized in the liberal patronage that was accorded him.  He still practices to some extent, making his home at Honey Creek, his time, however, being divided with his farming interests.  He and his sisters now own six hyundred and forty acres of valuable land, whch they inherited from their father, all of which is rented, bringing to them an excellent financial return.

In 1904, Dr. Frazier was married to Miss Mildred Smith, who was born in Iowa, a daughter of Bradley M. and Aletta (Cooper) smith.  For a number of years, he father was a lumber inspector for the Union Pacific Railroad Company and becaame a resident of Omaha, Nebraska, in 1866.  He was thereafter identified with the interests of this section of the country up to the time of his death, which occurre3d in October 1902, when he was sixty-nine years of age.  His widow still sturvives and is yet a resident of Omaha.  They were the parents of seven children: Ellen, now living in Omaha; Mrs. Uransa McCaully, of South Omaha; Mrs. Annie Van Dyke, who is living in Eldon, Iowa; Mr. Georgia Balbeck of Omaha; B.M. and Jessica, both of Omaha; and Mrs. Frazier.  The marriage of Dr. and Mrs. Frazier has been blessed with one daughter, Mary M.

Dr. Frazier belongs to the Missouri Valley Medical
association and to the State Medical Society.  He is a man of broad scientific knowledge and it is said that he is frequently called into consultation by the leading physicians of Council Bluffs and Omaha.  He took up the study of medicine in order to aid his mother, who suffered from consumption.  He wished to prolong her life, and through his skill and ministrations he did so for five years.  Since her deathe he has practiced little, save at the call of his friends, his professional services being prompted by his humanitarian spirit.  He would go out in the coldest nights or worst weather when his friends need his professional aid.  He does not care, however, to practice aside from this and has valuable property from which he derives a good income.  He has held some of the school offices, and while he never desires political preferment he is interested in all that pertains to the welfaire of the community.  His political allegiance is given to the republican party.
