ELEANOR FLORENCE ANDERSON

Eleanor Florence Anderson, a daughter and 10th child of James Anderson and Maren
Catherine Hansen was born February 5, 1898 in Springville, Utah. Bapt. 1 Jul 1906; End. 2 Jun 1932; BIC. Married David Leslie Frazer 21 Dec 1922. Died 23 Mar 1932.

Her father, James, died September 16, 1906, when she was 8 years old. Her mother, Maren Catherine, moved to Ogden after James= death to be able to provide for her family by taking in railroad men as boarders. By 1910 the Anderson family moved to Provo so that Florence and her brother, Earl, could go to school. Florence was educated at Brigham Young University.

With her mother and brother, Earl, she moved to Salt Lake City in 1919. They lived on 4th South near the City and County Building in a home with 7 rooms, plenty large to keep them all busy. They took in boarders, 3 of whom were school teachers. The air in Salt Lake at this time was so polluted and sooty, that it was hard to keep the laundry clean especially if it was hung outside.

Florence mentioned in a letter that she was taking music (piano) lessons and hoped to be able to play something within a few years. Maren had purchased this piano to encourage music with her children. (She later gave it to Ed and Priel in 1931.)

She loved going to shows and dances.

Florence was a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. She was baptized July 1, 1906 just before her father died. Their home in Salt Lake City was always open to family who came to attend General Conference. She commented in a letter to her brother, Ed (Ezra) who was serving a mission some of her feelings about the October, 1921 General Conference:

AWe had quite a splendid conference here. At least that is what they tell me. I went Sunday and heard Ballard (Melvin J. Ballard) speak. He is an inspiration no matter how one feels, but some of the others are not so good. If there were a few more like Ballard in our church I am sure the young people would be found at church more often than is true now. He has a way of telling us how bad we are so that we like it. Too many of the others spend time reminding us that we are a chosen people. We might be, but even at that, we need a jolt once in a while to make us come to earth.@

Florence accepted a position in the U.S. Naturalization Service in Salt Lake City. It was there that she met David (Donald) Leslie Frazer, an attorney, who was working as naturalization examiner. She married Les on December 21, 1922 in Salt Lake City.

They had a son, Robert Anderson Frazer, who was born June 25, 1924. Bobby was born with Cerebral Palsy. Even though he had physical challenges, Bobby was a beautiful boy with beautiful eyes. His mouth was a touch crooked.
By 1929 Florence had suffered a stroke that left one arm paralyzed and one leg dragging. Her marriage to Les was failing as was her health. Her mother came to stay with Florence to take care of her and Bobby.

Her brother, Ezra=s wife, recalled meeting her in 1929. Even though she had suffered a stroke, Priel remembered her as a beautiful girl with beautiful, sad eyes.

Florence died in the arms of her mother, at the age of 34, on Wednesday at 1:15 p.m. on March 27, 1932 of heart trouble in her home at 1475 East Thirteenth South St, Salt Lake City. Funeral services were held on Saturday at 2 p.m. March 30, 1932 at the Yale Ward Chapel.

Donald Leslie Frazer was born January 16, 1889 in Beaver, Utah. He was the son of David Ingles Frazer and Mary Woolfenden. He was baptized Jul 6, 1899. He was a Salt Lake attorney who became the Naturalization examiner for the U.S. Naturalization Service in Salt Lake City. After his wife, Florence, died, Les served as Assistant Commissioner of Patents in Washington D. C. for 13 years.

He died September 16, 1947 in Washington D.C. at the age of 58 of diabetes. Funeral services were conducted Tuesday noon at 260 East South Temple Street, Salt Lake City by Gus Fernley, a personal friend. Senator Elbert D. Thomas spoke at the services. Friends called at the home of his sister, Mrs. Madeleine Waldis, 332 University Street. Burial was at the Wasatch Lawn Memorial Park.
