Scope and Contents
From the Collection:
The Lynn J. Frazier Papers consist primarily of a series of personal “diaries” and other miscellaneous items related to his career. The collection has been organized into two series, Diaries and Subject Files.
The Diaries Series begins with a single pocket diary of Thomas Frazier, Lynn’s father, of Auburn, Dakota. Only a small number of days record daily events or weather information. In the financial section in the back a number of pages have been used to record expenses, sales and what appear to be addresses. The remainder of the annual pocket diaries were kept by Lynn J. Frazier, from 1924 to 1945. They all are very sketchy and incomplete, containing some daily entries, as well as financial matters, names with addresses and likely some reminder notes.
The Subject Files Series includes a letter from 1933 to Robert H. Johnson of Fullerton, N.D. regarding “barnyard” loans made by the Regional Agricultural Credit Corporation. And blank letterhead as N.D. governor. There is also a calling card of Mrs. Frazier. The newspaper file contains only several articles about his career and a campaign newsletter titled “Lynn J. Frazier Drafted.” Finally there is one issue of the Prairie Breezes, issued by the Grafton Schools for December 1888 (Vol. 1, no. 10) and where Frazier attended school. It does contain an advertisement for “F.F. Frazier, Leading Photographer.”
Two photographs of a scale model of Mount Rushmore taken by Gustav Borglum were incorporated into this collection. They are personally noted to Frazier and signed by Borglum.
