Posted on: Freestone County Obituaries Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Tx/FreestoneObits/59 Surname: Fryer, Daniel, Riddle, Browne ------------------------- I have no connection to this family. Fairfield Recorder, Fairfield Texas Friday, March 6, 1925 IN MEMORY OF MRS. LIZZIE FRYER Martha Elizabeth (Daniel) Fryer was born near Canden, Alabama Dec. 31, 1847. She was the daughter of William Francis and Frances Riddle Daniel and the second child in a family of two sons and two daughters. William Francis Daniel was true to prevailing tendency in his day. He kept moving west. He was born and reared in South Carolina. His wifes native state was Georgia. He too came to Alabama and resided there for a while, but did not resist the living westward urge. In the winter of 1850-51 now nearly three quarters of a century ago the family moved to Freestone County in the same season that this county was born. Mr. Daniel (The original name of the family was ODaniel) located his plantation three miles east of the site that was to become Fairfield. The subject of this sketch was then three years old. In this young wilderness on the edge of civilzation Lizzie Daniel grew up in a manner after custom of other daughters of the slave holding class. She was to the manner born and knew naught of ordinary labor. With the coming of the war the budding young woman began to feel the sting in necessity and sorrow. Southern feudal society was on its last lap and brother and friends were off to kill and to be killed in a fratricidal war. In four years trial by combat southern lights became the lost cause. Many loved ones were dead, property and class were destroyed. Reconstruction was being born and gloom settled over the land for decades. Lizzie attended Fairfield Female College and finished her course about the close of the war, she then taught school for a year or two in Corsicana. In the midst of gloom of early reconstruction raise of joy and hope searched out the good and tender heart. Howother receding smoke a battle came a soldier boy to Freestone County in the fall of 1867. He was John Holland Fryer, native of Lawrence District, South Carolina who had moved to Alabama before the war. Upon the out break of hostilities he had volunteered in an Alabama Regiment that soon became a part of Robert E. Lees Fighting Forces in Virgina. In the battle of Gettysburg, he was severly wounded, taken prisoner, and endured the hardship of 22 months in an over crowded, under feed, neglected Northern Prison Camp on Johnsons Island, but then less time than two years from the day he came to Freestone John Holland Fryer, had won Elizabeth Daniel for his bride and had bought the old home place for their home. Mr. and Mrs. Fryer were married Jan. 21, 1869 at the old plantation home now known as Fryers Spring. Their honeymoon was spent in Alabama and on the return to Freestone, the husbands immediate family came with them. To this union were born five children: Albert Sydney, Clara, Frances, George William, and John Holland Jr. all of whom survive the father while three survive the mother. The family circle remained unbroken for 12 years, then the father died. Mrs Fryer, with the love and help of relatives and friends, but mostly through her own unconquerable energy took up the stern battle of feeding, clothing and properly rearing five little children, but let it be said to her credit that she accomplished well the task in a manner crediable and cheerful. Until Nov. 1903 she continued her residents at the home place, then moved to the home of her daughter, Mrs. A. J. Browne. With her she lived until the summer of 1909 at which time she went to make her home with her other children in Fairfield where she continued her residents until the time of her death, March 1, 1925. To portray accurately the life and character of Mrs. Fryer is to great an accomplishmnent for any except an artists pen. The sweet consistency of her christian life is a perpetual stinulus to christian pilgrams who have felt her gentleness. In the prime of womanhood she united with the Sounthern Methodist Church at Mt. Zion. With this congregation she continued membership until she came to make her home in Fairfield to which congregation her affiliation was moved. Her understanding of life and her active forward looking was proverbial yet so modest was she in speech and so under demonstrative in her acts that many who sought her philosophy in living thirsted for more. She knew hardships and difficulties intimately not asobstacles to be despaired over but as battles to be won with the right good grace. The ease with which she accomplished this in her manner of forgetting it straitway was unusal to most of us who are accustomed to remind others of our accomplishments. She was a practical woman and accustomed to saying and doing the right thing at the right time. The mutal love and admiration between her and her children was indicative of succesful parethood and family life. The contribution to society was worthy and unselfishly given in the society which she touched bowed in token of respect and smiled with pleasant and grateful remembrance. She was never well for any length of time for the past three years, yet she never dispaired nor resigned her keen insight into the reasons for the past and the developments for the present. Her active acquaintance with every topic of news was uninterpreted up until a week of her death. Since her hearing was defected she enjoyed a most intimate companionship with standard and most approved newspapers and periodicals. This literally literary association kept her alive till the living present. With the passing of three scorn seventeen years she grew wary and tired. Life had been given to her that she might accomplish a plan. She fought a good fight, kept the faith and finished the course. The unparalelled attention, love and admiration of her most devoted children, the love and admiration of relatives and friends could not keep her here any longer. Rest time had come with the last backlash of winters chill age extended its self to an extremity. With the breaking of earthly spring time her spirit freed itself into spring eternal. On the lords day, late in the evening, it was fitting that grandmother should go home. Her Grandson
