FREY - In Pine township, Pa., Sept. 9, 1893, Jacob Frey, aged 86 years, 11 months and 21 days. Jacob Frey was born Sept. 18, 1806, in Conneaut tp, of German parents, whose ancestors came from Switzerland into Germany, then to America, and settled in eastern Pennsylvania about the year 1765 and in 1800 his parents, Henry and Barbara Frey came to Crawford county and settled on the farm, part of which is now owned by Simeon Frey. Here they raised a large family whose descendants are scattered in all parts of the United States. When about 20 years of age he married Rebecca Gilliland and settled in the woods in Conneaut township where he cleared and improved a farm. Mrs. Frey died in 1848, leaving a family of five children - two sons and three daughters. In 1850 he was married again to Miss Sarah Loreta Linn of North Shenango township, who still survives him, and raised another family of five children. In 1867 he moved into Pine township, on the farm where he resided until his death. When about twenty-two years of age he united with the M.E. Church and remained an active member all his life, holding all the offices of church belonging to lay members. He took special interest in leading the singing, which he did for nearly half a century, when his voice failed him; he could always be seen beating time. Uncle Jacob was a strong active man with marked ability, and although his early education was very much neglected, yet he wielded an influence which was felt by all who knew him. It was his special delight to help the sick as well as the poor and needy ones. In 1852 he invented a machine for making wooden water pipe, and followed that business successfully for many years. In 1880 he was attacked with creeping paralysis, which, though but slight at first, yet increased slowly until 1890, when he broke down and was quite helpless. About nineteen days before his death he was attacked with the flux and despite his severe illness he lived beyond all expectation, having a strong constitution such as few men possess. Of the ten children born to Jacob Frey, but five still live: Benj. J. Frey, of Lee county, Iowa; Mrs. Louisa R. McCabe, of Conneautville, Pa. Mrs. Carlie Wildrick, of Conneaut twp.; Mrs. Nervie Shaw, of Dicksonburg, and Henry, who is on the old homestead. Two brothers, George and Simeon, still survive him, out of a family of sixteen. Many relatives and friends paid a tribute of respect to deceased at Frey Cemetery where his body was laid away Sept. 11, 1893.
