According to stories passed down through Ida's descendents, ``She came by covered wagon to North English, Iowa when she was a year old. In 1879, at the age of 15, Ida came with Mr. and Mrs. E.J. Rosecrans to a farm near Ashland in Saunders County, NE. We don't know how or whether Ida was related to the Rosecrans. It seems as though she worked for them as a maid or somesuch. A young man by the name of Edward Alexander Frasier came to work for the Rosecrans, and that is how he met Ida. Eventually, Edward and Ida purchased the Rosecrans farm and lived there until 1938 when Edward passed away.''

They were married by Rev. Eckerman at the Gilchrist farm, 7 miles west and 1/2 mile north of Ashland. I would guess this must be the farm of Ida's sister Ellen and her husband John Gilchrist.

A 1907 plat map of Saunders county shows E.A. Frasier owns 80 acres in the south half of the NE quarter of section 36, Green Precinct, and 40 adjacent acres in Section 31 of Clear Creek Precinct. He has an Ashland address. That same map shows E. A. Frasier, Admr., for 80 acres, the east half of the SW quarter of Section 22, Green Precinct.

In the 1918 Farmers directory of Saunders Co., E.A. and Ida Frasier are listed in Clear Creek Precinct, address of Ashland, owns 80 acres in Section 36 and 100 acres in section 3. He's been in the county for 39 years.

An E.A. Frazier is also listed in an 1890 Saunders Co. Farmers directory with an Ithaca address.

Census: 1900, Green Precinct, Saunders Co., NE
