While most of the Indian action had ceased by this time, in earlier conversations he remembered some "tense times" when the unit was on patrol. The last recorded "disturbance" by the Indians against settlers was by the Chippewa Indians at Leech Lake, Minn., in October, 1898. At the time of his enlistment Fraske's record shows he was 5 feet 9 inches tall, had fair complexion, blue eyes and brown hair. His discharge was marked "service honest and faithful," and his marksmanship was noted as "1st class 1896". The discharge papers showed that at the time of release Fraske had $142.66 coming to him, and was paid in full. This was a considerable amount of money considering the salary of a private in 1894 in the army was $9 a month. Three months after his discharge from service, Fraske became a naturalized citizen of the United States on May 5, 1897. At the time of his death, the old veteran was blind in one eye and almost blind in the other. He had lived with his daughter, Miss Lillian Fraske at 3746 N. Spaulding in Chicago. He had married in 1900 and had lived with his daughter since his wife died several years ago. Fraske's initial enlistment in the army waS for five years, but the Indians had become so peaceful that men with good records were being discharged early, resulting in his honorable discharge after three years and three months of service. Fraske commented in an interview on June 25, 1966, that the Indians never attacked the Fort or any of the surrounding area. "We were always prepared for it. That's the whole thing in a nutshell, being prepared for it," he said. "If I had shot an Indian at that time, they would have tried me for murder." "The Indians weren't bad e g g s . N o t a n y m o r e t h a n anyone else, other than they've been abused. They were very fine people," he said in the interview. "We had no serious trouble with them." Fraske said that he joined the army "because he needed a job" to help his mother support a family of seven. having celebrated his birthday on March 8. He has been the last known survivor of the Indian Wars since Reginald A. Bradley died in California Feb. 5, 1971, at the age of 103. The Veterans administration estimates that some 106,000 soldiers participated in the Indian Wars which ranged from 1817 through 1898. Less than 1 percent, or about 1,000 soldiers, died in the various engagements in this period. Fraske served as a private in F Company of the Seventeenth Regiment of the Infantry. He enlisted at Chicago, Feb. 22, 1894, and served until May 21, 1897.
