- Photograph: Rube Frazier's in 1946 (Frazier's Drive In)
C. A. (Rube) Frazier at his Dine & Dance spot south of Danville, Virginia, near the NC/VA state line.
_______________
In the 1920s/1930s, Rube Frazier operated a "filling station" near the NC/VA line, near what then was called "Dowdytown." At one time, John Dowdy apparently was his partner in this "filling station" business. Frazier often ran afoul of the law and spent several years in prison with respect to stolen vehicles.
______________
Rube is Charles Albert Frazier (1893-1978), who rests at Mountain View Cemetery (Danville, Virginia). He apparently was quite a character, being involved in motor vehicle theft, brawls, shootings, bootlegging, etc. At one time he owned a farm in Caswell County just south of Danville, Virginia, on which a dead woman was found (1965). The stories about him are legion!
