rufus omri frye
Mr. R. O. Fry, of Troy, died
yesterday afternoon at 3 o'clock at the Presbyterian Hospital, where he
had been under treatment for ten days for cancer of the stomach. He had
been quite ill for some time and was brought to Charlotte in the hope
that something could be done to improve his health, but his condition
was such that this was impossible. An opertion was performed, but
without avail.
The remains will be taken to his home this morning on the 10 o'clock train, reaching there late this after- noon. The funeral and interment will then take place Wednesday.
Mr. Fry was a lawyer of some prominence in his home community, being local attorney for the Southern Railway Company.
He was about 40 years of age and is survived by his wife and three children. He was married some years ago to Miss Minnie Smitherman, daughter of Mr. S. J. Smitherman. She, together with his sister, Miss Mary Troy, and other relatives were present at his death.
