General Notes: Husband - Edward Miles Frye

---

He acquired his early intellectual training in the public schools of his native place, and later attended Delmont Academy two terms; Dayton Academy one term; Cavode Academy one term, and Grove City College two years. Mr. Frye worked his way through the last named institutions, teaching during the winter seasons, and studying in summer, from the time he was nineteen until he was twenty-six years of age. September 24, 1888, he entered into partnership with a Mr. Painter, in Boquet, Pennsylvania, engaging in the general merchandise business. This arrangement existed for one year, when Mr. Frye purchased the interest of his partner, and conducted the business alone until March 1, 1899, when he removed to Monessen and opened a shoe store. This he carried on with considerable success for eighteen months, and then sold out and formed a partnership with John W. Manown, establishing a real estate and insurance business. At the end of a year he purchased his partner's interest, and conducted the business alone in East Monessen, until March 1, 1905, achieving the most gratifying success. In political affiliations he was a supporter of the Republican party, and held many elective offices in his borough. March 1, 1905, he was appointed postmaster of Monessen. He was elected borough treasurer in 1900, and occupied this office for five years. He served as a member of the county committee for more than fifteen years, and also served as delegate to the state convention. Fraternally he was a member of the F. and A. M., Monessen Lodge, No. 638, Monongahela City Chapter, No. 249, R. A.; B. P. O. E., No. 773, of which he was secretary in 1904; K. P., No. 176; I. O. O. F., Monessen Lodge; Modern Woodmen of America and Foresters. He was a director of the First National Bank of Monessen, and was a member and one of the trustees of the Presbyterian church.
