There is no will in Berks Co for Conrad FREY/FRY, so it must be in another county. I would try Northampton Co. I also checked Philadelphia Co since some were filed there instead of the county they resided in, but there is not a Conrad FREY file showing in that county either. The first 3 counties were Phila, Chester and Bucks.

It was near the Berks line. He may have died without a will, but an estate, if he had one, would be administered, esp when property was involved.
