Research Notes

In the 1920 census, Daisy's daughter Edith is listed in the census as being born in Canada. Written above "Canada" is "am cit" (American citizen).

In the obituaries of her siblings (starting in 1942), she was in Alberta, Canada. Various spelling of her last name are: Frazer, Farris, Fraiser, Fraser. No mention of what her husband's first name was.

On FindAGrave there is a memorial for "Daisy Emma Fraser" (1888-1978) in the Queens Park Cemetery and Mausoleum, Calgary, Alberta (#155938881). There is not enough information on this memorial to confirm that this is her gravesite.
