Grandpa Frank Union Frazier's 1947 Diary/Journal is explained in this earlier post and his biography begins here.
I turned back to the journal yesterday to see how Grandpa Frazier, and the Frazier's in Woodruff, Utah, celebrated Pioneer Day in 1947. This post included Grandma Frazier's birthday that year.

As for my group of descendants, we're headed to the parade here in Salt Lake City, with fond memories of earlier gatherings.
That was fun! So I am just realizing you must doubly related to Harv and Mary Rufi?
ReplyDeleteYes, I'm related to the Rex's on my mother's side and the Rufi's on my father's side. That's what you get when you come from Woodruff and Randolph, Utah.
ReplyDeleteHave you any idea of the last names for Albert and Effie and Marsh and Lyla? The two other couples Grandpa Frazier identified as part of the "Gang" that went to Montie Cristo that Sunday sixty-five years ago.
