Note
|
Fraser was only 10 when his left arm was amputated after a fracture went untreated. Despite this, he tried in vain to sign up for WWI. He was sent to work as a houseboy for a white neighbour and became friends with the woman's eldest son, who helped him to read and write. This left him determined to see his own six children better educated. Fraser became a cobbler, sawmill worker and newspaper seller, always bringing home copies he insisted his offspring must read. |
