General Notes: Husband - West Frye

---

He was born near the Horseshoe church, Carroll township, Washington County, Pennsylvania. He was reared to farm life, and in early days distilled whisky in connection with his agricultural duties.
After his marriage he located on the old homestead near Horseshoe church, where they remained several years. They afterward moved to Monongahela, where he engaged in distilling, but in 1857 moved to Union township, Washington County, where he followed farming and hotel keeping. At that time the town of Finleyville was yet in its infancy, over time it enlarged so much that it came to cover a portion of the Frye farm. Mr. Frye was instrumental in building up the town, having erected several dwellings and business blocks. In politics he was a valued member of the Republican party.
