Description	:	Note: this memorial updated January 8, 2016. David's parents are not named in any family group sheets or other information found so far. He was, per his obituary, born in Clermont county, Ohio, but because he moved to Iowa in 1840 he would not have been listed on the 1850 census of his parents (assuming that one or both of them were living a/o 1850), as the 1850 census was the first to name household members other than the head of household. A search of Clermont county, Ohio vital records, church records, etc. would probably be the only way... Read More	Note: this memorial updated January 8, 2016.

(Note: the first few paragraphs of this obituary are omitted due to the graphic text that described his manner of death in Fairfield, Iowa, as a result of a team of horses that were spooked by another animal) ".... Mr. Fry was in the 71st year of his age. He was born in Clermont, Ohio, and grew to manhood there. He came to Iowa in 1840, in company with Timothy Day, a well known early settler of Van Buren county, and remained there with that gentleman for three years. Then he removed to Cedar township, this county, settling on a farm on which he lived until his removal to this city nearly two years ago, and where he has voted for 40 years, never missing an election. August 28, 1843, Mr. Fry was married to Miss Harriet Fordyce (sic), a sister of Hon. Lewis Fordyce of this county, who died 14 years ago. Seven children now living, five sons and two daughters, were the fruit of this marriage. All the sons now resided in Cedar township, while the daughters, Mrs. M. Watkins and Mrs. J. M. Williams, live at Belleville, Kan. April 2, 1876, Mr. Fry was again married to Mrs. Permelia F. Allen, who survives him. Both in the community in which he lived and throughout the county David Fry was known as a thoroughly honest and upright man, a kind parent, husband and neighbor, and a good citizen. He was an industrious and progressive farmer, and had prospered in this world's affairs. His sudden and violent death has brought sorrow to many a heart, and his death will be quite generally mourned. The funeral will occur today, and the remains will be taken to the Bethany Church cemetery, two miles east of Winchester, Van Buren County, for interment. now known as Fordyce cemetery. ------------- Note: David Fry was first married to Harriet Fordyce Fry on August 28, 1843. He married, second, Permelia F. Espy/Bennett/Allen on April 2, 1876.. ------------- Children: > Jarius Girard Fry > Asa Scott Fry > Mary Jane Fry Watkins (Mrs. J. M.
