From a History of OLD WALLA WALLA COUNTY. CANTREL R. FRAZIER
Mr. Frazier was again married in 1907 to Mrs Missouri Ann Wightman, a native of Wayne County, Missouri, and a daughter of Thomas J. and Lucinda Swezea, the former born in Tennessee and the later in Missouri. In 1859 the parents, accompanied by their six children, started across the plains with two hundred head of cattle, which dwindled down to about one hundred head before reaching Walla Walla. Mr Swezea purchased a claim about eight miles from the city on Cottonwood creek. On the eighth of July, 1860, a son, Charles L., was added to the family, he being the first white child born in Walla Walla. Mr Swezea died at the age of seventy-seven years and his wife at the age of seventy-five. Of their nine children only four are now living, namely: Mrs Nancy J. Harer, of Walla Walla; Missouri Ann, now Mrs. Frazier; Smith W., a resident of Harrison, Idaho; and Charles L., of Walla Walla County. Mrs Frazier was a girl of fifteen years when she came to this state and on reaching womanhood married William Wightman, by whom she had one child, Elizabeth, the wife of William Wiseman, of Tacoma.
