Alfred Frazier, of Rockford Township, was born in Indiana, March 13, 1837, the son of James C. and Malinda (Fuller) Frazier, natives of Tennessee and Indiana, respectively. The father, in pioneer times, moved from Tennessee to Indiana, locating upon a farm and lived there until his death, leaving a wife and nine children, of whom Alfred, our subject, is the fourth in order of birth. Remaining at the paternal home until he was married, he, in 1854, located at his present residence, purchasing about 300 acres of prairie, a small portion of which had been broken by Mormans, and there was a log house on the premises. With Mr. Frazier came also his mother (the youngest child of ten in the family of John and Esther Fuller, natives and farmers of Virginia), who died a few years afterward. Mr. Fuller had also a mill and a distillery, which he ran until he died.

Mr. Frazier was married at the age of nineteen years, in May, 1857, to Juliana Wild, daughter of William and Sarah Wild, native of England, who emigrated to America and located on Pigeon Creek, this county, and died there. Their three children were John and Nancy, now residing in California, and Juliana. The latter was born in November, 1837.

Mr. Frazier now has 500 acres of excellent land on section 35, of which about 260 acres are in cultivation and the rest in meadow and pasture; he also owns a lot in the village of Honey Creek. He ships three or four car loads of cattle annually and two car loads of hogs. He superintends the cultivation of the large farm while he is also Postmaster at Honey Creek, which office he has held ever since 1868. Coming here in the early day, he has witnessed all the changes that have been made to redeem this country from its original savage state to its present high standing.

Polically he is a decided Republican, and as such has been an active worker; has been Township Clerk, etc.

His five children are: James W., residing at home; Nettie, deceased; Mary, wife of J. E. White; Eunice, at home; and John F., deceased.
