(26 Oct. 1876- 12 Jan. 1933), construction man. (Major Daniel W. Fraser, S. W. Fraser) Born at Dunvegan, GC. It may be guessed that his name was originally Donald, not Daniel. He was described in his obituary as “widely known in railroad construction circles throughout Canada and the United States.” In WWI, having already a long and established record in railway construction work, he went overseas with the 6th Canadian Railway Battalion. When he signed the “Officers’ Declaration Paper” in 1916, his place of residence was Toronto, his occupation was “Railway Superintendant,” his religion was “Protestant– Methodist,” and he stated his wife’s name as “Margaret Florance [sp. sic] Fraser.” For his war service, he was awarded the DSO. He died in Wellesley Hospital, Toronto. (four children) He was a Mason. For six or seven years before his death he was employed by a construction company of Columbus, Ohio, but his place of residence seems to have remained Toronto.
