Seven children were born to bless this happy union, six of whom survive the father. Brother Frazier was converted with the M. E. church when 21 years of age, and has remained a faithful and earnest member of that church. He held an official relation with the church and was steward for fourteen years, and also trustee.
His was that of an active life, until he became so afflicted that he was unable to work no more, and when the summons came he was ready to depart this life and quietly passed to his eternal rest.
