Pueblo Chieftain Tuesday July 28 1931
R.T. FRAZIER SUCCUMBS AT FAMILY HOME.
SADDLERY FIRM BECAME WORLD FAMOUS DUE TO HIS WORK
Aleading citizen prominent business man and one of the foremost supporters of civic activities in Pueblo for over 50 years, Robert T Frazier, 2121 Elizabeth Street, owner of the Frazier Saddlery company, died at his home Monday after a lingering illness.
Mr. Frazier was one of the colorful figures of early southern Colorado. He was among the first to be lured to Leadville at the opening of the great mining boom in that city, and saw its rise to the leading mining center in the state. In addition to mining and prospecting he operated a saddle shop in Leadville and served as Deputy sheriff during the hayday of the great camp.
Leaving Leadville, Mr Frazier went to Durango where he was among those instrumental in obtaining the incorporation of that town.
His first position in Pueblo was with the Gallup Saddlery company a half century ago. This firm later became the Frazier- Gallup Saddlery. Thirty Five years ago, Mr Frazier started his own business here with the R.T. Frazier Saddlery, which since then has grown to one of the most famous firms of its kind in the world.
Born on Oct. 3, 1850. Mr Frzier saw service in the Civil War despite his extreme youth at the time of the conflict. While still young he felt the call of the new west and was one of the first to enter the great gold rush in the Black Hills of South Dakota. He was married here in 1803 (1903) to Katherine R Henley, who survives hime. He also leaves two brothers William Frazier of Omaha, Neb., and Charles J. Frazier of Silver City Iowa; also a sister, Mrs Cecilia Van Kirk of Silver City. Mr Frazier was a life member of the Pueblo Lodge No. 90 B.P.O.Elks, and a charter member of Camp No. 2 W.O.W.
The body is being cared for at the Davis Mortuary. Funeral announcements will be made later.
Thrue the saddles for which he was famed. Mr Frazier carried the name of Pueblo to virtually every corner of the globe. Orders have been sent from his shop to every continent and are known thruout the worl as the highest achievement of the art. Until this year he had been assisted in his plant by Earl Dunlap now undersheriff of Pueblo county.
