The obituary of Cornelia (Hargis) Adams Bohannon Frazier as published in the May 7, 1925, issue of The Mountain Eagle:
Called Home
Mrs. Cornelia Frazier, Oldest and
Best Loved Lady of the City
Passed Away Monday Morning Early.
About 5 o'clock Monday morning the Angel of Death visited the home of Jas. H. Frazier in our city and removed to the great beyond his aged wife. Less than a week before she had been laughing and talking in her accustomed way with her many friends and remarked that she was feeling as well as she had felt in years. At the time of her death she had passed beyond the the allotted four score and five and up till only a few years ago was a very active lady. There was no woman in the county that was better known and better loved. She was a native of Virginia but had resided in and around Whitesburg from her earliest youth. She had been married four times, all of her husbands except the last having preceded her to the grave many years ago. Her father, James Hargis, came to what is now Letcher county from Virginia in a very early day. The Hargis family was a very high class one and the members of it have always carved for themselves reputations of the highest order. Henry Hargis, an older brother of Mrs. Frazier, a well to do and highly reputable citizen, died some years ago at his home in Richmond. Mrs. Frazier was never blessed with any children and so far as known leaves only two distant cousins, Alex and Elbert Hargis, now residing at Jackson. She had but the one brother, Henry, mentioned above and he at his death left no heirs. Aunt Cornelia Frazier was loved by everyone in Whitesburg and by everybody else who knew her. Her kind and noble disposition and her desire to help the poor and needy, in sickness or in health, won for her the highest admiration. All day Monday a constant stream of people passed into the Frazier home to take a last look at the remains of this dear friend. Mrs. Frazier was a member of the Presbyterian Church here and on Tuesday a memorial service in her honor was held by her pastor, Rev. J. W. Bell and be Rev. I. E. Enlow of the Baptist Church. This was done at her request. A large assembly joined in the service. On a little ridge overlooking the silent waters of the Northfork on the old farm for years owned by her and where sleeps her father, mother and other relatives the remains were gently laid to rest Tuesday to await the final consummation of all things - the Resurrection. Aunt Cornelia will be long remembered and much missed in the years to come. And heaven will be the brighter by her presence. With the many friends we bow in humble submission to His will and extend sympathies.
