General Notes: Husband - Robert B. Frye

---

He was born on the old farm at Horseshoe church, Washington County, Pennsylvania, and assisted his father in the general agricultural duties. He graduated from the Iron City College, Pittsburgh, and in 1862 joined the Eighteenth Pennsylvania Cavalry. He served in the army of the Potomac until the siege of Petersburgh, when his regiment joined General Sheridan's forces, and entered the Shenandoah Valley. September 28, 1862, he was left on the field for dead, at Rock Fish Gap, near Waynesborough. He was captured by the enemy, and (as soon as his wounds would permit) taken to Libby Prison November 10, 1864, where he remained until February 22, 1865. He was then paroled and first taken to Annapolis, thence to Philadelphia, and put in the Mower general hospital, from there receiving his discharge June 17, 1865. After the war he came home and went west in 1866, but, returning to Washington county was married, the wedding ceremony taking place on the anniversary of the day that he was wounded on the battle field, September 28, 1870. They first located in Melrose, Iowa, and then lived in Kansas and Colorado, and different parts of the West. In 1891 they returned to Finleyville, Washington County, to help care for his aged mother.
He was one of the first to support the Republican party, but later espoused the cause of the Peoples' party, and was the nominee of same, for representative from Washington County, in the campaign of 1892.
