No. 248 and Frazer Field in Newark, Delaware: The Bolivia/Delaware Connection

Print | Hits: 1779

   No. 248 is the number assigned to one of the participants in a Field Day excercise which took place on Friday, May 13, 1921 at Joe Frazer Field in Newark, Delware. I wanted to provide background information about the Joe Frazer Field which was dedicated by Joseph Heckart Frazer's parents and brother Stanley, on June 18, 1913.

  The following information was found in the Proceedings of the American Society of Civil Engineers, Volume 38, Part 1, pages 110-111. Joseph Heckart Frazer, son of Eben B. Frazer [and presumably his wife], was born in Port Deposit Maryland on September 30, 1882. He graduated from Delaware College, Newark De in 1903 with a B.C.E. Immediately after graduation, Frazer joined the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Comany as a topographer. Frazer worked in MD, PA, and WV until November of 1904.

  In 1905, Frazer became a transitman with the Bolivian Railway Company. He was also employed by the Bolivian government as part of a commission to study and map out railways. In 1905, he became the Chief Engineer of the Concordia Mine for the Andes Tin Company, where he layed out roads and helped erect an electrical transmission plant. 

  Frazer soon resigned from those positions to establish his own company with Mr. William Rumbold as his partner. The firm, Rumbold and Frazer, headquartered in Bolivia and received contracts to survey roads across the Andes, amongst other  endeavors. Unfortunately, Frazer developed pneumonia and died in La Paz, Bolivia on August 16, 1911, after being ill for 7 days. He was only 29 years old. The dedication of the Joe Frazer field allowed for many people, such as No. 248 E. Reynolds, to enjoy themselves on subsequent Field Days. HK, 11 July 2015

    The amount of research you do on everything is worth great credit. If anyone asks me what is the best dissertation writing service, I would definitely point my finger towards Passed Time. Students, scholars and researchers could learn great things from your website.

    To under-40 watch buffs raised on cheap yeezy boost heritage chic, two-tone seemed like the horological equivalent of a yellow power tie. It was a holdover from chanel replica handbags the if-you’ve-got-it-flaunt-it ’80s that called to mind Patrick Bateman, the brand-obsessed cheap polo ralph lauren yuppie sociopath in “American Psycho,” who trumpeted his taste for luxe with a two-tone Rolex Datejust. But, like Cheap Longchamp stonewashed jeans, pastel polos and synth pop, two-tone watches are an ’80s staple that is mounting a comeback.
