Eugene Joseph Frasier was born March 12, 1939, in Faulkton, SD to Walter J. and Madeline
(Lenhoff) Frasier. He attended school at Orient before being called home to help on the family
farm due to his father’s health.
Eugene married Cherry Herman on September 26, 1960, at St. Thomas Catholic Church in
Faulkton. They made their home in rural Faulkton, where they raised their four children: Tannia,
Darla, Dale and Jayme.
Eugene was born with an engineer’s mind and was always looking for his next project. He
attended welding class and became an excellent welder. He made everything he needed and fixed
everything he had. You can still see evidence of his handy work all around the farm.
Family was everything to Eugene, where the door was always open. He loved to always tell
them, “Take your time going, but hurry back.”
