Read More	His name in the Bible is spelled Benaiah, but he seems to have spelled it Benijah or Benajah, so that's what I'm showing. The Salem Weekly News April 8,1920 FRAZIER Benajah Hiatt Frazier, the son of Thomas and Hannah Frazier, was born at Salem, Iowa Nov. 10, 1839, and has resided his entire life of over eighty years in and around Salem. He was married to Mahalah Russell Oct. 26, 1858. To this union were born ten children. The third died in infancy but the following still live to mourn the love of a father: Blanche Simmons of Algona, Iowa, Lina Braden of Laurenta, Oregon, Leila Hedrick of Parkersburg, Illinois, Cora Rukgaber of Mt. Pleasant, Ia., Arlie Frazier of Monahan, Wash., Viva Miller of Hillsboro, Iowa, Berd Frazier of Bayside, Texas, Ross Frazier of Chanute, Kansas, and Mae Frazier of Salem, Iowa. For over sixty years Mr. and Mrs. Frazier lived a beautiful life together. They were devoted to each other and for the year and two months he was left without her he sang the following almost every evening: "Heaven, dear Heaven, Heaven of the blest, How I long to be there and forever be at rest." Benajah Frazier was the youngest and last of a family of fifteen children. His father was one of the first Friends ministers in this country and he was a birthright member of the Friends church. For years he has been unable to attend services yet he was loyal and true to the faith of his church to the end. He went to bed and to sleep as usual on Easter evening, April 4th, 1920. At nine o'clock his daughter, hearing a slight noise, went to his room. He seemed to be sleeping naturally but she could not waken him. Medical aid was summoned but by 9:30 he was gone. God had heard and answered the prayers he had so often made, to go quickly and without being a burden to anyone. Besides his children, 33 grandchildren and 34 great grandchildren, he leaves behind a host of relatives and friends. The funeral was from the Friends church on Wednesday afternoon. It was conducted by Viola Smith and Florence Baker and interment was made in the Friends cemetery. The death of Mr. Frazier recalls old memories. During the early days he was a great hunter and shipper of prairie chickens, a business of some importance in those days. He used to hire men by the month to hunt the chickens. He was also a delegate at one time to the "greenback" convention in St. Louis.
