FRASIER,
CARL born in Burke, August 27, 1872, son of Luther T. and Celia (Eggleston)
Frasier. He attended the public schools and worked on the home farm until
twenty years of age, when he entered the employ of his uncle, Gilman Frasier,
who was then conducting the general store where the post-office is now
located at East Burke. Gilman Frasier soon sold his business to Croft &
Webster, and the subject of our sketch remained a year, and then went to
Chicago to work during the Columbian exposition. Returning to Burke he
again entered the employ of Mr. Webster, and remained for another year.
In the fall of 1895 he bought an interest in Mr. Webster's general store
and for three and a half years the business was conducted under the firm
name of Webster & Frasier. In December, 1898, dissolution of partnership
was agreed upon, and April, 1899, he opened his present store with a general
stock. In 1898 he was appointed postmaster of East Burke, which position
he still holds.
Mr. Frasier
is a type of the hustling young businessman, who is bound to succeed because
he knows how to please.
