He had moved from Pennsylvania to Clermont County, Ohio, by 1806, from there to Muscatine by 1850, and Bloomington Twp, Muscatine, Iowa by 1852. He died there, and was buried in the Bloomington Cemetery according to "Cemeteries in Muscatine County," page 197. Peter Fryberger, who was a native of Germany and came to this country with his parents in early life. locating in Pennsylvania, where several years were passed. He then went to Clermont County, Ohio, where he was united in marriage with Martha Brand, and five children were born unto them, three daughters and two sons : Elizabeth, who married Mr. Storer, and after his death wedded John Galancy, is now deceased ; Mrs. Mary Fisher died in Pittsburgh, Pa.; Mrs. Rebecca Heaton died in Muscatine many years ago ; Moses died in Ohio ; and William B., of this sketch, completes the family. In the spring of 1839 a party, consisting of Peter Fryberger, his son William B., and Absalom Fisher, his son-in-law, left Ohio and made a trip to Iowa to view the country, in order to select a location. They visited various parts of the State, but being better pleased with Muscatine County than any other community, Mr. Fryberger entered and purchased land to the amount of 1,200 acres. The same season the party returned to Ohio. Of the land then secured, the father gave to each of his sons a quarter-section of land, and to his sons-in-law, Absalom Fisher and Silas Heaton, he gave the same amount. A few months later, in the fall of 1839, our subject (William B) once more came to this county, bringing with him his family, consisting of wife and four children, and located on the quarter section, which has been his home continuously since, a period of fifty years. The following spring his father (Peter) came to Muscatine County, settling on land just west of the farm of our subject, but made his home with William. He was then about seventy years of age. He did not engage in the active duties of farm life, but spent his time in the lighter labors, and many days passed in hunting. He was very fond of that sport, and as game of all kinds was very abundant, had ample opportunity to gratify his taste in that direction. He later went to Muscatine, where he engaged in the grocery business, making his home with his granddaughter, Janetta, with whom he lived until his death. He formed an extensive acquaintance throughout the county, and was honored and respected by all who knew him. Source: Portrait and Biographical Album, Muscatine County, Iowa, 1889, page 485
