"Wilhelm Fries lived to be nearly a hundred years old, and to the end of his life Fanny and Adam belonged to him. After his wife's death Fanny and Adam cared for the old master faithfully and devotedly. The Negro couple had eight children, all baptized in the Colored Church. Fanny died April 11, 1870 and Adam on September 7 of that same year. Both were buried in the graveyard of the Colored Church in Salem."
