Marion B Frase

(7 Aug 1860 - 3 Aug 1918)

The story of Marion Frase is a tragic one. In March of 1903 he was shot in the face with a shotgun while sitting in a rocking chair in his bedroom. The blast came through the bedroom window. Marion survived but was blind, partially deaf and paralyzed.

The suspected criminal was tried in November of the same year and was convicted by it's not clear if the conviction was overturned or not. Genealogybank has much on this crime and trial.

Marion's death certificate indicates that he died of apoplexy with gunshot wound to the head as contributory. So I think the physician was indicating that he finally succumbed to his wounds.

Marian's wife died a year before he did so when Marian died, he left orphans and the children has been difficult to trace. Based on newspaper accounts, the family was poor and had a hard life after Marion's infirmity.
