Mr. Fry devoted his attention to teaching for twelve years, during which period he taught in the grade schools of Suffield township two years and then Paris and Shalersville townships, Portage county, and in the cities of Hubbard and New London, Ohio.

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. Mrs. Fry received her early education in the public schools of Shalersville township, Portage county and the high school in Uniontown, Ohio. She is member of the Order of Eastern Star, the Daughters of America, of which she is associate consul, and the Royal Neighbors, of which she has been marshal for the past ten years. Mr. and Mrs. Fry are the parents of two children: Baisee Verona, who died March 27, 1912; and Bernadine Elaine, who was born June 23, 1923, and is an exceptionally bright little miss.
