George W. Fry
One of the old and honorable families of Ohio bears the name Fry, and it was founded in Vinton County by the grandfather of Prof. George W. Fry, a representative citizen of Ross County, now a prominent resident of Richmond Dale. Grandfather Fry was a native of Bucks County, Pennsylvania. He and his family assisted in the early development of Vinton County and made honorable names for themselves among the pioneers of that time. He served in the War of 1812.
George W. Fry, who has spent a large portion of his useful life in the educational field, was born January 8, 1838, in Vinton County, Ohio. His parents were Isaac and Hannah (Wyatt) Fry. The father was born in 1812 near Chillicothe, Ohio, but was reared near McArthur in Vinton County, to which place his parents moved in 1816. He was occupied during life in the pursuits of agriculture. In 1831 he was married to Hannah Wyatt, who was born in Vinton County, and in 1841 they moved to Jackson County and there passed the rest of their lives. They were the parents of a vigorous family of eleven children, seven of these still surviving.
The early education of George W. Fry was secured in the primitive log schoolhouse that was near his father's farm. He was yet young when he was permitted to teach in the district school, his first certificate bearing the date of December 5, 1857. He took a course in Gilmor's Academy, at Jackson, Ohio, and afterward alternated going to school and teaching until 1864, when he enlisted for service in the Civil war as a private in Company K, Eighteenth Ohio Volunteer Infantry. He served until the close of the war and was honorably discharged October 9, 1865. In the state militia in 1863 he served as first lieutenant, Company I, First Regiment, Jackson County, when General Morgan made his spectacular raids in Ohio.
After his military life closed, Mr. Fry returned to Ohio and resumed his educational work, in 1894 receiving a life certificate through a state examination. Keeping thoroughly abreast with the times, Professor Fry for many years afterward continued an important factor in the teaching field, continuing active until 1913. In his fifty years' teaching he has been the principal of schools of Berlin and Wellston in Jackson County, Ohio; Hamden and Zaleski in Vinton County, Ohio; Wheelersburg in Scioto County, Ohio; Frankfort, Adelphi, Bainbridge, and Richmond Dale in Ross County, Ohio. In addition he has also taught rural and select schools. He was appointed school examiner of Jackson County in 1872 and served under three appointments. He visited the Centennial at Philadelphia in 1876, the Cotton Exposition at New Orleans in 1885, the Columbian Exposition at Chicago in 1893, the St. Louis Exposition in 1904, and the Lewis and Clark Exposition at Portland, Oregon, in 1905, and also visited various points in the Pacific States, including Yosemite Valley and the Mariposa grove of big trees. Mr. Fry has been in thirty-two states and the District of Columbia.
Although independent in his political affiliation, he has frequently been called on by his fellow citizens to serve in responsible positions. He was township clerk of Milton Township for some years, at present is a notary public and for almost thirteen years has been a justice of the peace.
On March 8, 1866, Professor Fry was married to Miss Minerva Phillips, who died April 21, 1868, leaving one son, Charles, who is now a resident of California. On March 30, 1887, Professor Fry was married to Miss Ella M. Feurt, who was born in Scioto County, Ohio. Mrs. Fry was a popular teacher at that time, holding a state certificate, for life, and was well known in educational circles. They have one daughter, Georgia, residing at home. Professor Fry and family are members of the Methodist Episcopal Church. They are hospitably inclined and their many friends find a welcome in their beautiful home at Richmond Dale. Professor Fry belongs to Fenton Post No. 316, Grand Army of the Republic, of which he is chaplain, and to Adelphi Lodge No. 527, Free and Accepted Masons.
