Chickasaw county is generally Democratic, and in 1895 the hopes of that party were not disappointed. As their legislative candidate they put up the Hon. John Frazee, and he was elected. He was born in Clinton county, Indiana, February 5, 1841, and moved with his parents to Iowa at an early age. When he had completed the common-school course he went to the Upper Iowa University at Fayette. While a young man he taught school in the winter seasons for ten years. He has for some time devoted his attention exclusively to farming and stock-raising. He has held the positions of township assessor, treasurer of the school board and member of the board of supervisors of his county. In religious matters he prefers the Universalist church. On any partisan legislation he will stand by his Democratic brethren, but on other subjects he will be ready to cooperate with those who are working for the best interests of the state of Iowa. Two years ago he was a member of the House and served on the committees on claims, animal industries, board of public charities, engrossed bills, fish and game, public lands and buildings, mines and mining, medicine and surgery.
