Biography / History

James B. Frazier, regarded as one of the State's most eloquent and accomplished orators, was instrumental in Tennesse's political affairs in the early part of the 20th century. A native son, Frazier was born in Pikeville on Octoer 18, 1858, to Thomas Neil and Margaret M. Frazier. He attended Franklin College and graduated from the University of Tennessee in 1878. Frazier embarked on a law career and was admitted to the bar in 1880. Frazier married Louise Douglas Keith in 1883 at Athens, Tennessee. The Fraziers established themselves in Chattanooga and had four children: Annie Keith, James B., Jr., Thomas A., and Louise. Frazier's successful law practice, of which he was a senior partner in Frazier and Coleman, carried him into the State's political spotlight. In 1902 Frazier was nominated for governor by acclamation and received the largest plurality of votes in the election since the Civil War. Frazier's success as governor was reaffirmed by being elected again in 1904. Frazier's administration was strictly business. He insisted upon a rigid economy and significantly reduced the State's debt. A strong advocate of public schools, Frazier did much to improve their status. Before his second term expired, Frazier was elected to fill the unexpired term of Senator William B. Bate, who died in office. Frazier's term in the Senate ended in 1910, and he returned to Chattanooga to practice law. A strong supporter of the Democratic party, Frazier died on March 28, 1937.
