Dr. Edwin S. Fry was born on July 20th, 1851 in Lancaster County, near Reimstown, Penn. He was the youngest of eight children of George and Catherine Fry. He attended high school at Millersville, Pa., and then taught school for several years.

In June, 1871, he married Miss Mary Ann Carpenter and in the spring of 1873 they moved to Naperville, Ill., where he clerked in Martin Brown's store and later in a store in Aurora, in all about three years. Then for eighteen years they farmed on three different farms successfully near Naperville and Plainfield. At the same time he studied and prepared himself to be a veterinary surgeon and along with his farming he had a wide and very successful practice for fifteen years. They moved to Naperville in 1905 and he retired from his practice in 1909. He was thorough and reliable for which he became very well known, trusted and beloved.

He was converted to God in the college chapel revival the year they came to Naperville and then united with the church.

To Mr. and Mrs. Fry were born two daughters, Cora now Mrs. Erving Stoner of Naperville and Hattie, now Mrs. Oliver Matter of Wheatland, and one son George C. Fry of Hinckley, Ill.

Dr. Fry had been ill for about a month and took to his bed last Monday and with very little suffering fell asleep early on Wednesday morning, Nov. 16th. Those who deeply mourn their loss by his passing are: his widow, Mrs. Mary Fry, the two daughters and the son with their families, fourteen grandchildren and twelve great grandchildren. One older brother Rhese Fry, is still living in Lancaster City, Penn., and many other relatives in the east, besides many friends here mourn with the family.

Thus after over 57 years of loving fellowship with his wife, he closed his eyes to the scenes of earth at the age of 76 years, 3 months and 27 days.
