Friday's Photo: Grover Frye of Louisiana

Grover Frye was found written on the back of this photo -another from the Frye family. A search for Grover points to Andrew "Andy" Grover Frye the son of Alexander Hamilton Frye and Georgia Ellen Gains. According to WWI and WWII draft cards, he was born in Minden in Webster Parish on August 11, 1888. 

The high collar and small bowtie indicate that the photo was probably taken in the early 1900s. I did not find a marriage record but according to information found on the 1910 United States Census, Andrew Grover Frye and Minnie M. Tullus had been married for one year. They were found living in Claiborne, Bienville, Ouachita, Morehouse, and Bastrop Parishes in Louisiana. 

Andrew Grover Frye died at age 72 and is buried in Pine Grove South Cemetery in Bastrop Parish. His obituary can be seen below.
