FRAZIER WARD

     Was born in Warren county, Missouri, May 10, 1832.  At the early age of
thirteen years he was left an orphan -- his father dying when Frazier was but
six years old.  On the death of his mother he was adopted into the family of Mr.
John Wyatt, with whom he lived until twenty-one years of age.  He then concluded
to come to the Pacific coast, and in the spring of 1853 joined a party of
emigrants to Oregon.  On his arrival in this state Mr. Ward came direct to
Douglas county, first locating in the French settlement, and in the fall of that
year located his present farm, consisting of 320 acres, some four miles north of
Looking-glass where he has since resided, successfully engaged in general
farming and stock raising.  In addition to his splendid farm on which he
resides, Mr. Ward owns some 900 acres north of Coles' valley.  A view of his
residence will be found in this work.  Mr. Ward was married in the French
settlement in 1857, to Mary A., the youngest daughter of H. B. Flournoy, now
deceased, an early and highly respected citizen of Douglas county, and the first
settler in the valley that now bears his name.  They had nine children, of whom
three are deceased.  Those living are:  Howard L., Lillie N., Mary V., Thomas
F., Winnie O., and Maggie A.  Those deceased are:  Oscar A., Samuel H. and
Whafie W.
