Charles Stanford Frasure

Sherburne [Chenango Co., NY]:  Charles Stanford Frasure, aged 6, son of Rev. Charles A. Frasure, died in Buffalo [Errie Co., NY], March 9, after a few days' illness.  The little fellow was at first treated for croup but there is a possibility that diphtheria developed.  He died at the General Hospital, and the body was brought to Sherburne for burial which took place March 13 at 3 o'clock in the afternoon, Rev. W.A. Trow officiating.  He was born in the Congregational parsonage at Westmoreland, N.Y. [Oneida Co.], where his father was pastor of the Congregational Church.  He is survived by his father and little sister, Helen, who is nearly 8 years old.  His mother died suddenly November 22, 1904.  Charles was a beautiful boy, very bright and active, and exceedingly affectionate in his disposition.  He gave excellent promise of a useful career.  He won the hearts of all who knew him and his death is deeply mourned.  The picture accompanying this sketch was taken one year ago.

Cora (Miller) Frasure

Binghamton Press, November 23, 1904

Sherburne [Chenango Co., NY]:  News was received here yesterday of the sudden death of the wife of Rev. Charles A. Frasure, at Buffalo [Erie Co., NY].  They were intending to spend Thanksgiving on the farm which they occupied part of the time, mostly during the summer, and relatives received a letter from her dated Saturday, to "meet them at the 6:25 p.m. train Wednesday."  It seems that she was taken ill on Sunday and although medical aid was quickly summoned it was of no avail.  Mrs. Frasure, who was before her marriage Miss Cora Miller, resided in Sidney [Delaware Co., NY], came here to accept a position as teacher in Sherburne High school in 1895.  She resigned her situation and in November, 1896, was married to Rev. Charles A. Frasure, a Sherburne boy who had accepted a call as pastor of the congregational Church at Westmoreland, where they lived for two years, after which they removed to Bridgewater, where he had charge of the Congregational Church as pastor.  A few years ago Mr. Frasure gave up the ministry to accept a position with the Dodd, Mead Company, publishers, to take charge of their branch office in Buffalo, Mrs. Frasure and two children spending the Summers at their old homestead here on the Frasure farm.  She went to Buffalo to spend the Winter last September.  She was deeply interested in her church work and a true Christian woman, and when the news was spread of her death there was many a tear-stained cheek in Sherburne.  Besides her husband there are two little children who survive, a daughter, Helen, and a son, 5 years of age.  Her father, Mr. Miller, who resides in Watertown and sister and brother of Sidney also survive.  She was 23 years of age.  Undertaker C. L. Carrier went to Buffalo yesterday for the body, which will be brought here tonight and the funeral will be held Friday afternoon.  Rev. Frasure's mother, Mrs. I.R. Adams, she being a mother-in-law, and a brother-in-law, O.J. Frasure, who lives on the old Frasure farm, all of Sherburne, also survive.

A telegram from Buffalo, N.Y., received by Mrs. Wm. Aussiker, Tuesday morning of the 22d inst., announced the sad news of the sudden death of Mrs. Cora Frasure, at her home in that city.  Mrs. Frasure was formerly known to our Sidney people as Miss Cora Miller, daughter of Fenton A. Miller, who now resides at Watertown, N.Y.  Mrs. Fraser died of blood poison, although no fatal result had been anticipated. The end was sudden and wholly unexpected.  The remains are now in Sherburne, at the home of the Rev. C.A. Frasure, the funeral and interment are announced for Friday, the 25th, to be held in that village.  A deeply afflicted husband and two interesting little children survive, also her father, a brother, Clarence Miller, of Oneonta and a sister, Mrs. Wm. Aussiker, of this village.  Mrs. Frasure's death is most deeply deplored.
