Lloyd Frazier 16 year old son of Roy Frazier died Monday at the home of his grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Cooper near Woodston.
Our neighborhood was shocked Sunday morning when the news came over the telephone of the death of Lloyd Frazier at Woodston where he made his home with grandparents Mr. and Mrs. Cooper and attended high school. He was a Junior. Lloyd was stricken with the flu and developed pneumonia living just one week.--from Plainville (KS) Times, 3-15-1928.
IN MEMORY OF LLOYD FRAZIER- Lloyd Frazier, a beloved schoolmate and friend, has passed on.
To the entire high school the sudden and untimely death of Lloyd Frazier came as a tragic shock. We wish it were possible to find words to express our deep sorrow and sense of loss. To us all, and especially to the members of the Junior class come these lines with poignant sadness; "We shall meet, but we shall miss him,/ There will be one vacant chair."
As fittingly said by Mr. Bowman, his death is like the falling of a great oak that leaves an enormous vacant space against the horizon that cannot be filled.
For Lloyd was a boy who made his presence felt; he "did things" and he did them well. He radiated energy and good cheer.
Lloyd Frazier entered the Woodston Rural High School as a Freshman in the fall of 1926. This year he was a loyal and beloved member of the Junior class. The record of his two and a half years in the high school show him to have been a good student. His grades were above the average. He had a keen, alert mind; to him school work was a pleasure. The harder the subject, the more difficult the task, the greater was his interest and energy. He was ever a conscientious, happy worker, He was always obliging and helpful to other students, respectful and loyal to teachers.
Lloyd was a gentleman; there is not a one of us but can remember some kindly, helpful, pleasant thing he did.
When someone forgot to water the plants it was Lloyd who remembered and make a joke of doing it. It was Lloyd who found the chair so that the teacher need not stand.
In speaking of Lloyd his class sponsor, Miss Beck said: "Lloyd's word could absolutely be depended upon. When he said he would do, or not do a thing, it did not mean just for the moment, or while it was easy but for always--it was done pleasantly, happily and whole heartedly.
Lloyd had not only a keen mind, but a determined will, a strong, well controlled body and a fearless courage. These qualities made him a leader in athletics; he was especially distinguished upon the gridiron. Here his skill and prowess were no less marked than his good humor and high sportsmanship. He ranks among the finest of the many fine boys who have worn the purple and gold for the Woodston Rural High School.
We cannot fill Lloyd's place in the class room, or upon the athletic field--nor would we if we could. We only hope that his happy, helpful, loyal energy may be to us all an example and an incentive. We shall strive to "carry on."
