William Albert Frazier, son of William Andre and Elizabeth Huggins Frazier, was born near Sardinia. Brown, county, Ohio, September 21, 1834, and after a short illness with la grippe, quietly fell asleep at his home in Burbank, Calif., January 28, 1912, having said some days previous that he could not get well and that he was ready to go. His age was 77 years, 4 months and 7 days.
Bereft of his father when a small child, he lived in various homes and his school advantages were limited, but he loved books and educated himself to quite an extent, especially in music. Also learned and followed the wagon and carriage makers' trade.
He was raised by his Scotch-Irish parents and other relatives in the Presbyterian faith, but at the age of 20 he united with the Methodist Episcopal church, of which he remained a member all the years of his long life, taking an active part-particularly in the music, until an advanced age.
He was married in Sardinia, February 27, 1855, to Mary Jane Dunn. In the same year they came to Mercer county, Illinois. Soon after to Galesburg and 12 years later to Clarinda, Page county, Iowa, where he was with one lumber firm for 26 years and organist of the Methodist church for a longer period. The last eight years of his life were spent in California.
Beside the wife, who was his companion for near 57 years, there are two children to mourn the loss of a loving father—Frank O. Frazier, of Baldwin Park, Calif., and Zelma, wife of Theodore A. Crooks, of this place. Also two grandchildren, Mertice Frazier Crooks and Theodore Albert Crooks.
Tbe funeral was conducted at the Methodist church Tuesday, Jan. 30th, by Rev. P. F. Bresee, of Los Angeles, a former Clarinda pastor, assisted by Rev. Avery, Rev. Pomeroy and Rev. Beckwith, of Burbank.
Mrs. C. R. Sumner and Miss Leila Vance, of Los Angeles, rendered very beautifully, "Lead Kindly Light," A New Voice in tbe Heavenly Choir," "Abide With Me" and "Softly Now the Light of Day;" things he loved. He played and sang some of these and many others but a short time before his death. He was borne to his final resting place in Forest Lawn, by W. M. Alexander, J. P. Burrows, D. S. Pugh, E. E. Webster, E. H. Bresee and J. S. Hay, all now of Los Angeles and vicinity, but formerly of Clarinda, except the last named gentleman, who was a boyhood friend in Ohio.

Soon from the light of day,
Shall forever pass away.
Then, from sin and sorrow free,
Take us, Land, to dwell with Thee."

Killed by the Cars.
This community was thrown into a terrible excitement Tuesday morning by the announcement that a young lady by the name of Miss Isabel Frederick, of Corning, Iowa, had been instantly killed at the C. B. & Q. depot. She had come down on the 7 o'clock passenger to attend a cabinet meeting of Creston district Ep-worth League as a delegate, and was met on the platform by Chas. Tomlinson, who started with her across the side track west of the depot to the waiting carriage of C. A. Lisle to take her to the home of Mrs. S. M. Greene.  When at the west side they talked and walked leisurely up the track to reach the carriage when unconscious of all danger Charley was struck on the shoulder by a freight car followed by four others which had been "kicked back" by the engineer of the Denver Short Line freight onto this siding.  This knocked Charley who was a little nearer the outside of the track against Miss Frederick, throwing him off the track and her, across the rail, when five trucks passed over her body between the shoulder and the hip, and also crushing one of her lower limbs. She merely gave three faint screams before life was extinct.  The velocity of the cars was so great that the first one was thrown from the track and plowed over the ties and into the mud a distance of two and a half long freight cars. The mangled remains were taken to Mr. Brown's hotel near by and later to the undertaking rooms of A. T. Clement and properly dressed by sorrowing friends.   The widowed mother was notified but so overcome by grief that medication was required.    A coroner's inquest was held and a verdict returned of death by accident.  Her brother and a company of friends came down at 2 p. m., short services were held at the M. E. church at 6 o'clock and the remains taken home on the 8 o'clock train.    Miss Frederick was about eighteen years of age, a bright and talented young lady and her untimely and horrible death is deeply mourned by all.  Leaving home as she did in the early morning with all the health of a blooming yonng woman, filled with anticipation of a day of joy and pleasure among strangers who were league friends, and then to be stricken down by the cruel hand of death in a few short hours brings sorrow to the hearts of the living that cannot be quieted or appeased.

For dear littleOrval is still in death. How peaceful he looks at rest. His chubby hands so meekly folded Across his senseless breast.
God needed one more angel child Amidst His shining band. And so he bent his loving smile And clasped our darling's hand.
Our home is sad and desolate, Since Orval was laid to rest; Though our cup is filled with grief, We know that he is blest.
Thy will, oh God, not ours, be done Help us to be reconciled; And when life's journey has been run Oh may we meet our darling child.
Oh sweet Orval when we meet thee In the joyous realms above, Gladly will we haste to greet thee, Filled will be our hearts with love.

KILLED IN ACCIDENT
Mrs. B. W. Freeman Sustained Fatal Injuries Saturday Evening, South of Clarinda.

A fatal accident occurred Saturday evening on the Clarinda-Shambaugh road, resulting in the death of Mrs. B. W. Freeman and serious injuries to six others in the party.
Mr. and Mrs. B. W. Freeman, proprietors of the Clarinda Rug Factory, their home being at the factory near the freight station in Clarinda, were returning with their family from Shambaugh, where the family had been attending the religious meetings held in the tent there. L. F. Babb was along, besides the seven members of the Freeman family, making eight in the car. Mr. Freeman had just purchased a Carter car, this being the second time he had driven it which was the reason Mr. Babb accompanied them, as he had been teaching Mr. Freeman to run the car.
Saturday evening about ten o'clock the road between Clarinda and Shambaugh was lined with cars headed southward, having been in Clarinda. One of these cars blinded Mr. Freeman who was driving the car, just as they approached the small bridge north of the Hensleigh farm. He failed to see the bridge, thereby driving off instead into the ditch twenty feet at the east side of the bridge. The car jumped the ditch, stopping short when the front wheels struck the bank on the other side, and the car rested there in an upright position. It was the impact when the car struck the bank that caused the damage. Mrs. Freeman who was the worst hurt was thrown against the front seat, and then out of the car, being found about twelve feet distant. Mr. Freeman's weight was thrown against the steering wheel, which was broken off, Passersby soon stopped to aid the injured people, and Dr. Killingsworth was called who soon appeared on the scene, helping bring the party to the Kennelworth Hospital, where they were treated for their wounds, and several of them were then taken to their home at the Rug factory.
Mrs. Freeman who was the worst hurt died at the hospital about half past five Sunday morning, her injuries being mostly internal, besides broken ribs, an arm broken, and a fractured spine.
Mr. Freeman sustained internal injuries when he struck the steering gear, besides having his nose cut.
L. F. Babb had his right arm broken and his right ear cut.
The older girl, Clara, had her right arm fractured between the elbow and the wrist. The boy Everett had a
fracture of the left leg, half way between the knee and ankle, and his head badly bruised. The girl Gertie
complained of her chest hurting. Flora bad a scalp wound and her face cut. The younger child was not seriously injured, beyond a bad shaking up.
On Sunday some friends went to the Freeman home offering to take the children and care for them, also urging Mr. Freeman to go to the hospital where he could be looked after. But the father refused to permit this, saying that they had friends and could look after themselves, and that the Lord would do the rest.
The funeral of Mrs. Freeman was held Tuesday afternoon, July 23rd, from the home of a neighbor, conducted by Rev. L. H. Hutton, pastor of the church of God at Milton, Mo.
Many friends were present, including relatives from a distance, as stated in the obituary in another column.

At last accounts Mr. Freeman and the children were getting along as well as could be expected, but with no serious consequences expected from their injuries. CLARINDA HERALD, Clarinda, Iowa, Jul 25, 1918

AUTO ACCIDENT AND FATAL RESULT
B.   W.   Freeman  and   Family Meet Serious   Mishap   Which Proved Fatal to Mother
A toll of one dead and several others not expected to live, and a few with broken bones and bruises is the result of an inexperienced man speeding at night without having his car in control. Mr. B. W. Freeman, proprietor of the Clarinda Rug Factory, was returning with his family about 10 o'clock Saturday night from a camp meeting at Shambaugh when he was blinded by the lights of an approaching car and went over the embankment of a small creek about two and a half miles south of town, just this side of the Hensleigh farm. He missed the bridge entirely, and the speed of the car was so great that the car didn't stop until it hit the other side of the creek, which is about 18 feet wide, and about eight feet deep, with an incline of about a foot before it drops down. There was no sign of any tracks on this incline, as the car was going so fast that it coudn't even touch. There were eight occupants of the car, the Freeman family and Frank Babb, who was teaching Mr. Freeman to drive, but had repeatedly warned him not to drive so fast. Mr. Babb was in the front seat with Mr. Freeman, and suffered a broken arm, the bone being dislocated and protruding through the tissues. Mrs. Freeman, wno was rather heavy had been thrown against the front seat, and bent it in about a foot. She suffered a broken left arm, the short ribs on both sides broken, crushed spine and chest injured. She was taken to the hospital, but died at 5:30 Sunday morning. Mr. Freeman was badly bruised, with his short ribs broken, nose lacerated and abdomen badly injured but latest reports are that he will recover. A little girl, the next to the oldest had the left side of her chest crushed, and is in a serious condition. The two other girls and the boy were also injured, suffering broken bones and bruises.
Glenn Wolcott, who lives near College Springs, was driving the car with the glaring headlights. When he saw that the accident had happened, he summoned the Glasgow family and people living near, and together they gathered the injured ones and took them to the Kennelworth Hospital where all possible was done to relieve their suffering. Mrs. Freeman passed away while at the hospital, and at the request of Mr. Freeman, the remaining members of the family were removed to the Freeman home which is over the rug factory on east Ninth street.
The auto was a Carter car of an old type which Mr. Freeman had been contemplating purchasing from Mrs. Prow. It was a friction drive and it will be a task to renovate it as the parts are no longer made. PAGE COUNTY DEMOCRAT, Clarinda, Iowa, Jul 25, 1918

Friedman, D., Mrs' MOTHER - Mrs D. Friedman was called to Mendota, Ill., Sunday evening by the sudden death of her mother. Mr Friedman left Monday to attend the funeral. PAGE COUNTY DEMOCRAT, Clarinda, Iowa, Dec 11, 1902

One of Clarinda's foremost business men and one of her best citizens, David Friedman, died Sunday, May 21, 1916, at his residence, 508 North Fifteenth street, of tuberculosis. While it was generally known that he was in ill health, and that his condition was serious, yet it was little thought that he was so near the end of his earthly life. The announcement of his death was both a surprise and deep sorrow to his many friends.
Mr. Friedman was born March 1, 1856, in Austria. He was the son of Moses and Rebecca Friedman. At the age of 13 years he started with an uncle and aunt, from his home country, to make his home in the United States. His relatives were lost at sea, so that when David reached New York city he was obliged to rely wholly upon his own resources. At that time he had within him intelligence and the spirit of enterprise which later resulted in his becoming a successful business man and exemplary citizen.
He was not long in this county before he had a clerkship in a clothing store at Akron, O., and later was a clerk in clothing stores owned by Morris & Goldsmith in Mendota, Freeport and Chicago, Ill. In 1876, before he had become thoroughly settled in the clothing business he was at the exposition and did handsomely financially in selling exposition programs at the Centenial exposition in Philadelphia.. Before that, he was in Chicago at the time of the great fire, and among his experiences there, which he afterward related, was that of standing in deep water to keep from burning. It was, after, the Philadelphia exposition that he entered upon his clerkships in the Illinois cities named above, and while in Mendota as a clerk in a clothing store, it was his good fortune to become acquainted with Miss Lena Friend, whom he married in that city, Jan. 31, 1883, and which resulted in a most happy wedded life for the worthy couple. After their marriage Mr. and Mr. Friedman lived for one and one-half years in Chicago, and in August 1884, came to Clarinda to live. This city has been their home for almost thirty-two years. Here Mr. Friedman entered into, partnership with his brother-in-law, Philip Friend, in the clothing business, which they conducted in the Crabill block on the east side of the square. After being in partnership for three and one-half years Mr. Friedman bought the interest of Mr. Friend, who went to Austin, Minn. Mr. Friedman continued in the clothing business at the same location, and after having been on the east side of the square for about nine years moved his business to the Hatfield building on the souht side of the square, where he continued it until 1903, when he built a fine business building of his own—two stories and basement—at Fifteenth and Main streets, the southeast corner of the square, where his clothing business has since been conducted. In the later years of his life, his son-in-law, Max Kaufman, has been in partnership with him, the business being conducted under the firm name of D. Friedman.& Co.
Unfortunately, Mr. Friedman's health seriously failed him in the year 1905, and he was advised to go to Phoenix, Ariz., which he did. Again, in 1908, he went to Phoenix, being accompanied there by Mrs. Friedman, and after a month's stay there they went to Los Angeles, Calif., for a few months.   In 1911 they again went to Los Angeles, where they were for some months. For the third time, last July, Mr. Friedman sought health in California, this time with his son, Maurice, and Bert Green and G. T. Brent, going by automobile from Clarinda to Los Angeles. After their arrival there they were joined by Mrs. Friedman and daughter, Miss Florence Friedman. After spending the winter in California, Mr. and Mrs Friedman, daughter, Miss Florence, and son, Maurice, returned to Clarinda by train, arriving here March 23. Mr. Friedman was in poor health while in California and reached home in feeble condition. He was confined to his home nearly all the time after his return. The last five weeks before his death he was obliged to spend in bed.
Despite the fact that everything was done for him that could be, he could not regain his health; Death was the conqueror.
He loved his family and his home above everything else on earth. When he came home the last time from California, on entering his house he looked served: "These rooms look better to me than any I saw in Los Angeles."
In business Mr. Friedman was always reliable and honest. It was a pleasure to deal with him. His business founded on the principle of integrity it was no wonder that he flourished. He was ever public spirited and generaus, always ready to help along any worthy public enterprise. Clarinda owes much to his generosity. In private, friendly conversation, he was most interesting and agreeable. He was a keen and bright observer of events, and quickly saw to the heart of things. He had a fine sense of the humorous.
Beside his wife, Mr. Friedman is survived by three children—Mrs. Max Kaufman, Miss Florence Friedman, and Maurice Friedman. One child, a daughter, Bessie, died many years ago, at the age of 4 months.
Mr Friedman had become a member of Nodaway lodge, No. 140, A. F. and A. M. Clarinda chapter, No. 214, O. E. S., and a member of the lodge of Knights of Pythias.
In respect to his memory the business places in Clarinda were closed during the hour of his funeral, from 3 to 4 o'clock, Tuesday afternoon, at the family home in this city. The funeral was largely attended. The service was conducted by Rev. A. S. Woodard of the Methodist Episcopal church, and Rev. David S. Curry of the Presbyterian church. Nodaway lodge, No. 140, A., F. and A. M., of which Mr. Friedman died a member, attended the service in a body.
The remains were taken to St. Joseph, Mo., Wednesday morning, for interment in the Jewish cemetery in that city. They left over the Tarkio branch of the Burlington Route, but on account of the track being out just below Tarkio, the train had to come back from Tarkio, and took a circuitous route by the way of Villisca and over the main line of the Burlington, to another branch of the road to reach St. Joseph.
Accompanying the remains were Mrs. Friedman, Mr. and Mrs. Max Kaufman, and daughter, Miriam; Miss Florence Friedman, Maurice Friedman, Mr. and Mrs. H. A. Meyer of Dubuque, Oscar Friend of Chicago, and Philip Friend of Austin, Minn. Mrs. Meyer and the Messrs. Friend are sister and brothers of Mrs. Friedman. Mr. and Mrs. W. G. Landis, Henry Ruge, Mrs. Louis Syberkrop, and Miss Katherine Annan started with the party but on account of the delay on the railroad got off the train here on its return from Tarkio.

David Friedman, one of Clarinda's oldest merchants, passed away at his home on N. 15th street Sunday morning, May 21, 1916, at 9:45 a. m., after an illness extending.over the past two years. He was 60 years, 2 months and 21 days of age at time of death. When his health began to fail he decided to go to California for the winter, and spent the winter there, but received no benefit from the trip. About one month ago he returned to his home here, where he continued to grow steadily worse. Born in Austria in 1856, Mr. Friedman came to this, country at the age of 13, landing in the City of New York, where he remained only for a short time, going from there to Philadelphia, where he was in business for about two years. After selling out his business in that city he came to Chicago, where for a number of years he was employed by Wilaby Hill & Co., clothing manufacturers. In 1884 he and his brother-in-law, Philip Friend, decided to come west and start in business for themselves. After looking over several locations, they decided to locate in Clarinda, moving here the same year and starting in clothing business in the room now occupied by M. C. McVay, later moving into the store building where the Fair Store is, remaining in this location until in 1903, when he purchased the lot and built the fine two-story brick building where Friedman's clothing store is at present. On the 31st of January, 1880 in Mendola, Ill., was celebrated his marriage to Miss Lena Friend, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Abraham Friend, a banker of that city. To this union three children were born, Mrs. Max Kaufman, Miss Florence and Maurice, all of this city. He leaves besides his immediate family, two brothers and two sisters. Nate, formerly of Shenandoah, now living in Redfield, South Dakota and Joe of Chicago. The two sisters who live in Europe have never been in this country. The funeral services were held at the home on Tuesday afternoon at 3 p. m., conducted by Rev. David S. Curry, assisted by Rev. A. S. Woodard. The remains were conveyed to St. Joseph on Wednesday morning, to Leeman & Heaton Undertaking parlors, and a Masonic service held at the cemetery in that city, the remains being laid to rest in the Jewish cemetery in St. Joseph.
"Dave" Friedman has for many years been one of Clarinda's influential citizens. He has done much for the town and his presence will be greatly missed here.

As a parting tribute, the Clarinda stores closed their doors from 3 to 4 Tuesday afternoon, during the funeral services. CLARINDA HERALD, Clarinda, Iowa, May 25, 1916

The Funeral Services Were Held at the Home and the Remains Shipped to St Joseph for Interment.
David Friedman, who for the past two years has been failing in health, passed away peacefully at his home on North 15th street at 9:45 p.m. Saturday, May 20th.
Mr. Friedman has been confined to his bed for several months and the end was looked for at any moment, during that time. In a recent overland trip to the coast he contracted a severe cold and it is thought that at his advanced age, this may have hastened his death.
Mr. Friedman was born March 1st, 1856, in Austria.  Besides his wife and three children, Maurice, Florence, and Mrs. Max Kaufman, two brothers and two sisters are left to mourn his death, Nate Friedman, formerly of Shenandoah who is now located in business at Redfield, S. D., and Joe Friedman, connected with the Straus-Eisendrath Company of Chicago.   The two sisters, who were in Europe, Mr. Friedman has not heard from since he left there, and it is unknown whether they are alive or not.
Funeral services will be held today at 3:00 o'clock at the home, Rev. Curry officiating, assisted by Rev. Woodard. The remains will be shipped to St. Joseph, Wednesday, where the Masonic lodge will have charge of the burial.
The Page County History contains the following, relative to the life and career of David Friedman:
The growth and prosperity of the community does not.depend upon its machinery of government or even upon the men who fill its public offices although these are both in factors in the general welfare, but rather upon the men who are active in business circles, in which connection David Friedman is well known, being the popular and enterprising proprietor of a Clothing and Men's Furnishing Goods store in Clarinda.   He dates his residence in Page county since   1884, having come from Chicago.  He is, however, a native of Austria, where he spent the first thirteen years of his life and then made the long voyage across the Atlantic to the United States.   He has been a pupil in private educational institutes in Germany and he completed his education in night schools in America, remaining for a year in New York.It was in 1870 that he arrived, on the shores of the new world and in the fall of 1871 he went to Pittsburg. While in the Eastern metropolis he peddled collar   buttons   on   Broadway, but, through his start in life was a humble one, he was ambitious and eagerly embraced every opportunity for advancement.  After going to Pittsburg he became stock   keeper in   a wholesale clothing house, but investigations into business conditions of the country convinced him that still better opportunities were to be enjoyed in the Middle West and accordingly he made his way to Chicago, where he became connected with the Morris Clothing Company, his association with that house covered ten years. Later he was with Willoughby Hill & Company for three years and from Chicago he came to Clarinda in 1884.
Here Mr. Friedman entered.business as a member of the firm of E. H. Friend & Company, and after three years spent in that way he purchased the interest of Mr. Friend and has since carried on business alone as a dealer in clothing, men's furnishings and shoes.   From the beginning he has prospered, his trade constantly increasing with the growth of this part of the state,   his reliable business methods commending him to the confidence and support of the general public.  His success is indicated in the fact that he has erected a three story pressed brick building   25x130 feet, which is one of the finest business blocks in the city of Clarinda.  He carries a large and.well selected line of goods adequate to   the   demands of varied tastes and his earnest desire to please his patrons, together with his reliability in all mercantile transactions, has brought him a gratifying measure of prosperity.    On the 31st of January, 1883, in Mendota, Illinois, was celebrated the marriage of Mr. Friedman and Miss Lena Friend, a daughter of Abraham Friend, a money broker of that place. They have become the parents of three children:   Rae H., now the wife of Max Kaufman, manager of the store for Mr. Friedman, Florence and Maurice, who are both at home.   Mr. Friedman has never sought or desired public office, preferring to concentrate his energies' upon his business affairs and yet he is not remiss in the duties of citizenship, nor does he hesitate to support the measures or movements of which he deems will prove of general good. Fraternally he both a Mason and a Knight of Pythias and has the genuine regard of many friends, whom he has made in those orders. PAGE COUNTY DEMOCRAT, Clarinda, Iowa, May 23, 1916

Several months ago Otis contracted typhoid fever and passed through a long siege of illness at the home of his sister in Burlington Jct.

He underwent a critical operation a month ago and although he stood the ordeal well, he continued to decline after being brought home. Sunday, May 20th his condition became much worse and all hopes for his recovery were abandoned. During his long illness, Otis remained cheerful, and although he suffered a great deal at times he never complained. He remained conscious to the last and answered the final summons calmly and unafraid.
Otis Friend was born on what, was known as the old Manly farm west of Burlington Junction, June 27th, 1885, and spent the most of his life in this vicinity. He was a young man of splendid character, and his friends were numbered by his acquaintances. He was converted at the age of 18 in a baptist revival at Old Bethel church joining the Methodist Episcopal church in Burlington Jct. in which he lived a devoted christian life.

He is survived by his aged mother, and ten brothers and sisters. The funeral services were held in the M. E. church at 2 o'clock Friday, conducted by Rev. Earnest Snyder, and music was rendered by the church choir, and a solo by Prof. H. J. Becker of Maryville. Burial took place in the Dawsonville cemetery.
