Welcome to Rootchat, Fairiesm.

You would be better starting a new thread asking about this person as people may not see it in the middle of someone elses thread.

Hi
'Welsh Newspapers Online' cover up to end of 1919. There are reports in English and Welsh, mid/late December 1919 of him having been taken ill in Blaenau Ffestiniog whilst staying there with his sister-in-law.

BLAENAU FFESTINIOG
Dr. Peter Fraser, formerly medical officer of health for Carnarvonshire, who went out to India as a medical missionary and returned recently to this country, is seriously ill at Blaenau Festiniog, where he's staying with his sister-in-law.

CAERNARVON
DR. FRASER.The many friends of Dr. Peter Fraser in the town will learn with regret that he has been taken seriously ill at Blaenau Festiniog, where he is at present staying with his sister-in-law. Dr. and Mrs Fraser, while they stayed in the locality, took a great interest in social and religious matters. Dr. Fraser was one of the chief instruments in forming the local Y.M.C.A. branch.

No additional info in the Welsh reports.

Reports of his death will probably be in the January 1920 editions, probably under CAERNARVON.

Hi
Search on:
"peter fraser" AND missionary

will provide info on him, including:

1). Alwyn was not in Mizoram for many years. He led a sheltered life to protect him from the diseases that were then very rife, which may explain why he was not given a Mizo name unlike other missionary children.


(2). Dr. Peter Fraser was born in July 1864 at Caernarfon, North Wales, and practised as a doctor in the Rhonda Valley, South Wales, and in Caernarfon. He was appointed as the first Mission doctor in Mizoram and he and his wife Mary Catherine arrived in Aizawl on 9th December 1908. He established a dispensary in Mission Veng, was involved in the ‘serf’ controversy and left Aizawl on 12th October 1912. He resigned from Mission work in 1913 and went on to work as a tea garden doctor in Assam. He died at Blaenau Ffestiniog, North Wales, on 29th December 1919.


(3). See: Bala-Bangor Theological Seminary in Wikipedia.

NOTE:  Alwyn was his son.

Hi
His death was registered at West Derby, Liverpool, last quarter of 1919.

He married Mary Catherine Hughes, of Llangefni, at Llangefni, in June 1895.

Hi all ...

Sarah thank you very much for refining the search subject.  :) Truly appreciate it.

Emyr thank you for all the contributions .The reason I am looking for this information is that my mother got a vision to go and anoint his grave and pray over it as my mother is from the state of Mizoram, India, where the late Dr Fraser had his missionary work. I would like to see her fulfill her vision while she is still alive. She is 65 years old. To go to a place we have never been is challenging and would welcome new leads on the exact burial place and if anyone can suggest a way to confirm so we can plan a successful trip sometime in the coming years.  :) :) :) God bless u all.
