Dr Sarah Marinda Loguen Fraser

Medical Pioneer. She was a pioneer in the field of medicine and one of the first African-American female physicians in America. She was born in Syracuse, New York, the fifth of five children of abolitionist and religious leader Rev. James Loguen and his wife Caroline. Frasier later studied to become a doctor, she was admitted to the Syracuse University College of Medicine in October of 1873. She received her M.D. in the Spring of 1876. In September of that same year, Frasier began her internship at Woman's Hospital of Philadelphia. Her warm manner endeared her to the children in the hospital wards, who called her "Miss Doc." Besides pediatric and obstetric cases, she also frequently encountered nervous or mental patients on her rounds. In the Fall of 1878, she moved to Boston, Massachusetts to fill a six-month vacancy in an internship at the New England Hospital for Women and Children. In the Summer of 1879, she moved to Washington, D.C. to live with her sister Amelia and an aunt. There Frasier opened an office for private medical practice and soon made the acquaintance of Charles Alexander Frasier, a pharmacist whom she later married in Syracuse on September 19, 1882. The union produced one daughter.
