Biography
John W. Frazer spent his adult years among the residents of Clifton Springs, where he became known for his steady presence at gatherings and for offering a comforting word to neighbors wrestling with hard seasons. From his earliest adulthood, he treated the joys and disappointments of the village as if they were his own, quietly helping friends and newcomers adjust to the demands of farm and business alike.
He leaves the memory of a kindly, practical spirit who rarely sought the spotlight yet kept the community functioning with reliable kindness. In the stories his neighbors tell, he is remembered as a patient listener and a person whose sense of duty helped the village pass through storms with grace.
