Farmer.
Born on 8 March 1858, he came to Manitoba in 1880 and took up a homestead claim, remaining on it for three years, after moving to Clanwilliam where he bought a small farm. He gradually acquired more land until he had 3,200 acres. He was a promoter of the Minnedosa dam project and served as a Reeve of the Rural Municipality of Minto (1903-1904). He and wife Suzanah Price (1858-1927) had four children: Richard Price Frazer, James C. Frazer (1894-?), Harvey Frazer (1896-?), and Clifford Frazer (1899-?). He was a member of the IOOF. He died at Brandon on 14 April 1940 and was buried in the Boyd Cemetery.
