One of the very few of the earliest settlers of the Moscow district remaining here is William Frazier of this city. To see Mr. Frazier walking the street, one would not believe that he had seen eighty winters, fifty of which were passed here. Mr. Frazier came to what was then Nez Perce county, May 5, 1871, when the present site of Moscow was bunch grass flat and when only a few families lived in what is now Latah county. He homesteaded land three miles east of what is now Moscow and has owned and farmed that land continuously since. No better proof of the fertility of the Palouse soil or its advantages was furnished by Mr. Frazier, who has grown wheat on his farm year after year, without any special effort at fertilization, and last year harvested 40 bushels to the acre of No. 1 Wheat. His son, Frank, now has charge of the farm, and Mr. and Mrs. Frazier are enjoying a well-earned rest in Moscow, but are frequent visitors at the homestead.
