ELIZABETH FRANCES FRY:DIES FROM TUBERCULOSIS
Mrs. Elizabeth Frances Fry, for twenty seven years a resident of Stevens county, and the widow of the late Nathan B. Fry who died in Colville in December, 1916, passed peacefully away at the home of her daughter Mrs. Ernest Jonas, at Priest River, Idaho, May 24, 1918. She went there for a visit some two months ago. The immediate cause of death was tuberculosis. Mrs. Fry was born in Mills county, Missouri, Aug. 10, 1847, and with her parents crossed the plains by ox team to the Pacific coast in 1852. Her family name was Biggers and her father was for many years prominent in the making of early Oregon history. In 1867, at the family home at Albany, Oregon, she was married to Mr. Fry who settled there in 1849 and for ten years participated actively in the Indian wars of those troubleous times.
The surviving children of this venerable couple are one daughter and three sons: Mrs. Viola F. Jonas and Elbert L. Fry of Priest River, Idaho; Richard B. Fry of North Bend, Oregon, and Corporal Leslie L. Fry , in an artillery contingent of the American expeditionary forces now in France. A sister, Mrs. M.M. Markham, of Priest River, Idaho, also survives.
The funeral was held from the Baptist church, of which denomination she had been a consistent and devout member all her life. Rev. E.E. Cruger, the pastor, assisted by Rev. George E. Kline of the Free Methodist church, conducted the services. Interment was made in Highland cemetery. There was a large attendance both at the church and at the grave, of friends who paid solemn reverence to her memory. June 1, 1918 from the Colville Examiner.
