In 1915 Mr. Fry turned his attention to the real estate business, spending one year with the firm of Strobel & Shaeffer, and, having found the work congenial as well as profitable, he then opened is own office in East Akron, which section of the city, in his view, presented exceptional opportunities for growth and advancement.

Results have vindicated his judgment and he has steadily prospered. Mr. Fry received a commission as notary public in 1916, and has a well furnished office at 377 South Arlington street.

On August 23, 1906, Mr. Fry was united in marriage to Miss Lena Price, a daughter of John and Lucy E. (Semler) Price. Her father was for several years a member of the board of education in Portage county, and was also one of the most successful farmers of the community.
