Franklin Pierce Fry was born Dec 13, 1866, a child of the Oregon Pioneers. His parents, Robert Olney Fry and Mary Campbell (Foster) Fry, had both immigrated to the Oregon Territory, the Foster family having arrived in 1847 and the Fry family having arrived in 1852. His parents were blessed with four children: Franklin Pierce, Robert William, John Olney and Rosella Fry.
Franklin chose not to marry, feeling married to the land that he loved. He had a farm that yielded crops aplenty, due to the rich soil of the Willamette Valley and he was everyone's brother and uncle, thruout his life. As time went on, however, his health began to fail and he finally had to stop working in 1925. He developed gangrene in his left leg and foot in June, 1935, a severe infection that caused him to be hospitalized at the Albany General Hospital. It masked endocarditis, an infection in his heart's lining, for quite some time, which caused his death on July 4th, 1936. He was buried at Riverside Cemetery with other members of his family, but his soul was in Heaven in the "Fields of Gold".
