Presumed burial location: From the Inquirer, Lancaster, PA - January 22, 1887. Mr. Frederick Frey whose death was announced in the last week's inquirer, was buried in a little grave-yard on his own premises on Saturday forenoon. The house was so crowded that many had to stand outside on the porch and in the yard. The services were conducted by the Rev's Wolgamuth and Engle, Mt. Joy. There were 125 conveyances on the premises and about 400 persons present.
The Inquirer, Lancaster, PA - January 8, 1887. On the road leading from Creswell to Creswell Station, on the Columbia and Port Deposit railroad, about one mile from the former and one-half from the latter, lives one of Manor's wealthiest and most extensive farmers, Mr. Frederick Frey, for that is the gentleman's name, has about 600 acres of farming and wood land, about 500 of the former and 100 of the latter, and has accumulated an immense amount of wealth. Several weeks ago he was forced to take his bed through sickness, and at several times was not expected to live. On becoming better, he invited all his children home, ten in number, on New Year's Day, for the purpose of giving them a New Year's gift. Accordingly, on the appointed time they all assembled and they were followed shortly afterward by A.R. Witmer, esq., of Safe Harbor, who put on the finishing touches. Mr. Frey then gave to each of his children seven thousand dollars ($7,000), either in property or cash. His wife got the same amount. He will build a house for himself immediately and has ordered that material, some of which is being hauled at present.
Looks like there was a first wife who died between 1855 and 1871.
