From 'The Cyclopedia of New Zealand [Taranaki, Hawke's Bay & Wellington]': Fraser, Simeon Grey, General Merchant, Queen Street, Waitara. Private residence, East Waitara. Agent for the Royal Insurance Company, Yates' Seeds, Welshbach Light Company, L. D. Nathan's Teas, Gregg and Co., Dunedin, etc. This business is conducted in freehold premises by Mr. S. G. Fraser. Full stocks of groceries, ironmongery, crockery, etc., are carried. Mr. Fraser also deals in grain and wool. Delivery is made throughout the district. Mr. Fraser was born in Greymouth in the year 1868, and was educated in Hokitika. In 1882 he went to Taranaki, and started in a general store as a boy. He subsequently started in business on his own account, and was for about eleven years in partnership with Mr. Beckbessinger. On the dissolution of the partnership he took over his present business. Mr. Fraser is a member of Court Raleigh, Ancient Order of Foresters, and was secretary for fourteen years. For some years he was secretary of the Waitara Rowing Club, and of the Waitara Tennis Club, and was for about six years a member of the Waitara Town Board. Mr. Fraser is married, and has one son and one daughter.
From "The Cyclopedia of New Zealand [Wellington]': Colonel William Fraser, Sergeant-at-Arms of the House of Representatives, is well known as a military officer, civil servant and politician. Born in 1827 in Inverness, Scotland, and educated at the Royal Academy in his native town, and at the Edinburgh University, he was articled to a solicitor in Inverness Completing his articles in 1848, he served for two years in the offices of Messrs. Christie and Pagan, of Cupar, Fife, and was admitted as a solicitor in 1851. About this time Colonel Fraser was married to Miss Elizabeth Horsbrough, daughter of the last Hereditary sheriff-clerk of Fifeshire. Soon after this event the subject of this notice, accompanied by his wife, emigrated to Melbourne, Victoria. In the sister colony Colonel Fraser had the usual goldfields experience, visiting the various diggings. In 1863 he crossed over to Auckland with volunteers for the war, and accepted a commission as captain in the first Waikato regiment. The gallant gentleman served right through the Maori War, rising to the rank of Colonel, and was present at a great many battles, notably at Te Rangi, beyond the Gate Pah at Tauranga, Irehunga, Whakamarama, and other minor engagements. In 1865 Colonel Fraser was elected a member of the Auckland Provincial Council for Franklyn, which constituency he represented for five years. He was appointed Resident Magistrate and Warden for the Thames in 1869, and for the ten years which included the exciting times following the celebrated Caledonian gold discoveries, filled these important offices. In 1884 Colonel Fraser was elected to represent the Thames in the House of Representatives; three years later he was re-elected for the same Constituency, and in 1890 was returned for Te Aroha. Colonel Fraser has been prominent likewise in local politics. For five consecutive years he was elected Mayor of the Borough of Thames, and was returned as a member of the Thames County Council. He is a member of the Masonic fraternity, having been initiated in St. Andrew's Lodge under the Scotch Constitution in 1849. Colonel Fraser is now a member of the Corinthian Lodge, E.C., at the Thames, of which he is a "Past Master."
From 'Nursing in New Zealand: History and Reminiscences': It was after the discovery of gold fields in Otago, in 1861, when immigrants were poured into Dunedin in ship-loads, that there was much demand for hospital accommodation. The training of nurses was started in 1888, when lectures were given by the honorary staff, and an examination held at the end of twelve months. At this time the matron, Miss Burton, an estimable elderly dame, was quite untrained. When the question of giving lectures to the nurses arose, she said, "What do they want with lectures? I'll lecture them!" A very amusing article describing her experiences was written for Kai Tiaki by the first probationer in training. Nurses at first were only placed in the women's wards. The first trained matron was Miss Edith Maw, who came from England in 1892, but she only remained a year, and in 1893, Miss Isabella Fraser, who trained in the Edinburgh Infirmary, and was a sister in the Melbourne Hospital, came to take charge. Miss Fraser was a fine matron, keen for the improvement of her hospital and the success of her nurses. She inspired them with the highest ideals of their profession, and was most highly respected and loved by those who appreciated her kindly motherliness, and were not afraid of her touch of asperity. Miss Fraser was in office twenty years, and made many improvements; after her retirement, there were three matrons, two trained in the Old Country, and one at Dunedin. The fourth, now in office, is Miss Tennent, a Wellington Hospital nurse.
From 'The Cyclopedia of New Zealand [Taranaki, Hawke's Bay & Wellington]': Mr. Alfred Levavasour Durell Fraser, Member of the House of Representatives for Napier, was first elected in the year 1899, when he defeated Mr. R. D. D. McLean. He is an active politician, and is an authority on Maori law. Mr. Fraser is a member of the firm of Messrs Fraser and Bull, of Napier, and resides in Hastings.
From 'Historic Poverty Bay and the East Coast, N.I., N.Z.': De Gennes Fraser (born at Karachi in 1852) left India with his parents for Jersey upon the retirement of his father from the service of the East India Company. He came out to New Zealand in 1870. Whilst he was engaged in Government survey work with a party in Taranaki in 1878, trouble arose with the natives, who sent their womenfolk to remove the flags and pegs on Ngutuwera block. A native named Hiroki was hanged at New Plymouth for murdering McLean, the camp cook. Mr. Fraser became engineer to Pahiatua County in 1889 and to Wairoa County (1900–01). During his term as engineer to Cook County the road to Tolaga Bay was greatly improved by the construction of deviations from the treacherous beaches at Puatai and Tapuae. In 1916–17 he was engineer for Gisborne Borough. He died at Auckland on 4 June, 1938.
From 'The Cyclopedia of New Zealand [Wellington]': Councillor Francis Humphris Fraser, J.P., is much better known in other connections than that which the above title implies. The office of councillor is one of the latest duties discharged by Mr. Fraser in connection with civic roles. He was elected in 1888, and has held a seat continuously till the present day. But it is chiefly with respect to other work that the present sketch must deal. Mr. Fraser is the central figure of the Temperance Movement in Wellington, a position which he has won by consistent adherence to the principles of abstinence for more than a quarter of a century. He was born in London in 1833 just after the passing of the Reform Bill, and, as if inspired by this coincidence, reform has been the motto of his life. In early childhood he was removed to Edinburgh, where he received the home training that moulded his subsequent career. Watson's Hospital School was the scene of his early studies, and on leaving for London in 1847 he received a highly favourable testimonial from the headmaster. No sooner had Mr. Fraser reached the city of his birth than he engaged in Sunday school work, and although only fifteen years old, soon won the esteem of scholars and teachers alike. On leaving for New Zealand he received many tokens of high regard from his class in the Sunday school. There were several Temperance societies in Wellington when Mr. Fraser disembarked from the good ship "Wild Duck" in 1864, and he at once identified himself with these. Nor was he long in coming to the front rank. The offices he held in connection with the Temperance movement are too numerous to particularise here, but a few of the most important are given. He is District Secretary to the Independent Order of Rechabites, President of the Wellington Gospel Temperance Society and City Mission, Vice-President of the New Zealand Alliance, and Past Chief Templar of I.O.G.T. But Mr. Fraser's energies are by no means confined to Temperance work. On the contrary, the other offices he holds are so numerous that it would require much more space than this sketch admits to give an adequate conception of his functions. He is chairman of the Wellington Hospital Trustees, member of the United District Charitable Aid Board, member of the Education Board, of the Harbour Board, and of many other institutions. Yet, notwithstanding the onerous duties which the above list suggests, Mr. Fraser has found time to engage in parliamentary contests. In 1884 he contested the seat for Te Aro, and was defeated by Mr. C. J. Johnston, by a majority of only ten votes. However, at the by-election of 1887 he turned defeat into victory, when he contested the seat against Mr. W.T.L. Travers, and was elected by a large majority. He held the seat until the dissolution of Parliament in the same year, and has not entered the House since. In fact, Mr. Fraser serves the city more worthily in the positions he now holds than he could in Parliament, and it is fortunate for Wellington that he has not been called upon to forego these in order to engage in the arena of politics.
