Susan Gertrude Frye, daughter of Isaac I. and Mary M. Frye was born December 12th, 1846 near Winchester, Virginia, departed this life January 4th, 1921 at Twin Falls, Idaho, aged 74 years, 23 days.

Her early girlhood was spent with her parents near Winchester.

On May 5th, 1872 she was united in marriage to John Henry Frye. To this union were born eight children, three of whom are now living—Retta Bridges of Winterset, Iowa, Arthur Frye of Kansas City, Kansas, Ward Frye of Twin Falls, Idaho.

On November 13th, 1895, the husband and father departed this life.

Gertrude Frye was converted at an early age and united with the Presbyterian Church. She was a devoted wife and mother, giving her best to loved ones about her. Most of her life was spent in and near Earlham until about fifteen years ago she was united in marriage to Joseph French and with him moved to Twin Falls, Idaho, where her home was at the time of her death.

She has been a sufferer for years, during the last year has been confined to her bed continually.

No doubt she felt the days to be long and lonely, and longed for the eventide of life to come, come as a messenger of test, and entering into a glad morning of happiness, the Eternal home.

Funeral services were held at the Presbyterian Church Sunday afternoon, conducted by Rev. Howard and interment was in the Earlham cemetery.
