Moundsville Weekly Echo, January 16, 1920

WILLIAM H. FREY

WILLIAM H. FREY DIES THIS MORNING

This morning at 8:45 o’clock at his home on northern Tomlinson avenue William H. Frey passed away.

Mr. Frey was one of the highly respected citizens of Moundsville.

His long residence here made him one of the oldest citizens of the community. He was known as being one of the most honorable persons in every respect among his very large number of friends and acquaintances. He has gone among the people of this city, always having a kindly manner and a good word for every one.

Mr. Frey’s occupation was that of a riverman and he spent the most of his life as a coal operator on the river. He was born in Wheeling on January 28th, 1841. In 1872 he married Miss Mary L. Kimple at New Matamoras, Ohio. He came to this city thirty-six years ago and has spent most of his married life in and about Moundsville. He was in service four years in the civil war, having enlisted company H 92nd Ohio volunteers. He was very active in the G. A. R. and served as quartermaster for 15 years. He was an active member of Calvary M. E. church and was always in his place in the Sunday School and church services when his health permitted. Mr. Frey retired from business about fifteen years ago and was very active until that time. Complications due to his age brought his useful life to a close.

Mrs. Frey and six children survive him. The children are: Mrs. Louise Chambers, John Frederick Frey, Edward C. Frey, George H. Frey, Mrs. Mary V. Allen and Harrison I. Frey. William and Rose, died in infancy. Two sisters, Mrs. Margaret Hinds of Colorado, and Mrs. Louise Henretta of this city survive him. There are fourteen grandchildren.

The funeral services will be held Monday afternoon 2 o’clock at his late home. Rev. Workman of Calvary M. E. Church will conduct the services. Interment will be made in Mt. Rose cemetery. The G. A. R. will have charge at the grave.
