"Charles J. Fries. The Fries family came to Franklin county, Indiana, in 1837, and was one of the pioneer families of this county. Charles J. Fries has spent his whole life in Brookville, and since he was twenty years of age has been engaged in the hardware business in the city of his birth. His father was interested in the hardware business in Brookville from 1879 until his death in 1909, and Charles J. now has his father's interest in the firm of Fries & Geis. He is an active man in this community and takes a prominent part in all movements having to do with the general public welfare. Charles J. Fries, the son of Joseph A. and Mary (Kuehn) Fries, was born in Brookville, Indiana, November 5, 1877. ... Charles J. Fries received all of his education in Brookville. He attended the public schools as well as the parochial school of the city, and when eighteen years of age began working in the Brookville flour mill. A few years later he started to work in the hardware store of his father, and is still active manager of the firm of Fries & Geis. Mr. Fries was married October 19, 1905, to Elizabeth Hollis [sic Haas], who was born near Braysville, Indiana, a daughter of Joseph and Mary Hollis [sic Haas], both of whom are now living in Brookville, her father being the custodian of St. Michael's church. Mr. and Mrs. Fries have two children: Clarence, born September 1, 1907, and Margaret, born in March, 1910. Mr. Fries and his family are members of the Catholic church of Brookville and are interested in all that pertains to its welfare. He is a member of the Knights of Columbus and St. Peter's Benevolent Society, and also holds membership in the Improved Order of Red Men. Though Mr. Fries is one of the younger business men of Brookville, his career has been such as to reflect credit upon himself and to give him high rank in the estimation of those around him."
