County of Christian, Kentucky. Historical and Biographical. Edited by William Henry Perrin. F. A. Battey Publishing Co., 1884, pp. 369-370. WILLIAM I. FRASER'S grandfather, John Fraser, came from Virginia in 1822, and settled near Stewart County, Tenn., near the State line, and there remained to the time of his death; his wife, Martha (Brown) Fraser, was a native of Virginia, and a sister to ex-Governor Aaron Brown, of Tennessee. They had eleven children, of whom was John W. Fraser, the father of our subject. He was born in Virginia, in 1818, and when he was four years of age was brought to Tennessee by his parents, who located, as we have mentioned, in Stewart County. There John W. Fraser was reared and educated, and when a young man studied medicine. In 1842 he graduated from the Louisville Medical College, and engaged in the practice of his profession in Tennessee. In 1844 he came to Christian County, and located in the village of Lafayette, where he remained engaged in the practice of his profession to the time of his death, which occurred June 13, 1877. In 1843 he married Miss Mary Brigham, a native of Tennessee, born in 1822. Dr. Fraser was a warm- hearted man, and sympathetic in his nature, endearing himself to a vast circle of friends; his practice among the poor, without charge, often riding many miles without hope of remuneration, other than the consciousness that he had done his duty, alone made him popular; his nature was genial as sunshine, and always humorous, full of jokes, and fond of the society of the young; his office was a general resort of his friends. In business he was very successful, and at his death left an estate valued at about $60,000; he and his affectionate wife and helpmate were blessed with three children, viz.: William I.; Lenora, wife of A. W. Williams, and Mary J. Fraser. William I. Fraser was born March 10, 1844, in Christian County, and here received his eduation; he has followed farming, and is now the owner of a farm in Tennessee. At present he is connected with Mr. Hancock in the tobacco business. The portrait of John W. Fraser apears elsewhere in this work.
