Frazer, John
Prov. Santa Cruz
John Bruce Frazer, an Inverness schoolmaster: in 1879 he embarked at the Port
of London to establish the first school at Port Darwin in the Falkland Islands.
His wife, Annie Herald, sister of the great Scottish Impressionist painter
John Watterston Herald, left a superb diary of the journey south and arrival
in the Falklands. Their elder son John was born in Scotland but the couple
had three more children at Port Darwin: Euphemia born in 1882 (married Alexander
Taylor of Laurencekirk, Scotland), Annie (married a man called Sturrock, possibly
of Dundee, Scotland) and finally David, known as 'Dot', who served in the
Scottish Horse during the First World War. In about 1895 the family left Port
Darwin to settle at San Julian and set themselves up in the wool business.
The ship that took them there was the famous 'Rippling Wave', long a beached
wreck near Punta Arenas. The family acquired Estancia La Colmena some miles
from the town, purchasing others in due course. The business was really the
work of John Bruce's elder son, John Frazer, the former retiring to Arbroath,
Scotland in c.1910. The family made its fortune in the wool trade during the
First World War, John Frazer becoming one of the two or three so-called 'kings
of Patagonia'. He is the subject of a revealing anecdote in Chace's book and
Colmena is discussed and illustrated in 'La Patagonia Argentina'.
In 1990 the local museum in San Julian displayed a document listing the assignment of 'parcelas' of land in San Julian proper, dated about 1900. Heading the list were John Frazer and his father John Bruce along with another 20 or 30 names, many Scots among them. John Frazer had approximately nine children with his wife Helen, nee McDonald, two of whom were lost in the 'Avila Star' (Ronald Frazer, aged 32 and Thelma Norah Frazer, aged 23), torpedoed by the German submarine U201 in the Atlantic on 5th July 1942, together with other volunteers from the British community in Argentina. Several of his children remained in the Argentine, others settled in England and one in Australia. Most or all are now dead though their descendants live on. A number of family members are buried at La Colmena itself. La Colmena was sold to an American company in about 1978. Throughout its time in Patagonia the Frazers were closely connected to the Patterson family, also Kelper Scots, though these ties were of friendship and business, never of marriage. The family name is often rendered 'Fraser' in printed works and elsewhere but the family genealogy, which stretches back to Inverness in the late 18th century, makes it clear that 'Frazer' has long been the favoured spelling.
