The following from the Pilot December 1, 1909
J. M. Fryman was burned to death in his own home Monday evening. He and his wife were sitting in the kitchen when they thought they smelled smoke. Upon investigation they saw some smoke coming in through a corner of the kitchen that adjoined the rest of the house. Mrs. Fryman opened the door into the main part of the house and smoke and flames shot out so far she couldn't even close the door. Mr. Fryman couldn't believe there was much fire and grabbed a pail of water and rushed in to put it out but was overcome with the smoke and never came out again. Jessie, the only girl at home, was out coasting and by the time the neighbors could get there the house was wrapped in flames and no one could think of entering. Not a single article of clothing or furniture was saved. The charred remains of Mr. Fryman were taken out of the debris and brought to this city by Coroner Pierce and placed in his morgue to await the day of the funeral, which will probably be held Friday, though word has not yet been received from Mr. J. R. Stone, a daughter who lives in California. Joe, the youngest son lives on a portion of the old farm and Dennis lives near St. Edwards, Neb. Mrs. Scott Fitch lives at Payette, Idaho, and Mrs. "Bud" Rhoades in Dallas, S. D. Mr. Fryman was one of the early settlers here and was 59 years of age.
