His FindAGrave page links to the following:
An Ephraim Fry - buried Proffitt Cemetery, no dates of birth or death. Likely he is not a child.
Eugene William Fry: b. 4 May 1879, Missouri, died 2 June 1962, Imperial Co, CA. His wife's name was Mary Gertrude (17 Feb 1882, Colorado - 18 Dec 1964, Imperial Co, CA). Eugene is buried Evergreen cemetery, El Centro, Imperial Co.
Lessley Phoan "Pete" Fry, b. 31 Dec 1892 (says Texas, but it was not - he was born in Missouri), died 28 Feb 1919, Proffitt, Young Co TX. He was single. Buried Proffitt Cemetery, no marker. He died of tuberculosis. J. W. Fry was the informant. Texas Death Certificate#8759.

Strangely there is also said to be buried, Proffitt Cemetery - although there is no tombstone - one H. P. Fry, born 1846 in Virginia, died 29 Jul 1920 in Texas. Listed as a son of Jacob Fry & Mary Ann Kelso although his age would suggest that was not possible since Jacob married Mary Ann in 1853. None of the early censuses show any such person in the family - there was a child William H. Fry, age 3 in 1850, born to the first wife.
"H.P. Fry, a pioneer citizen of Young County, died at the home of his brother, J.W. Fry, near Proffitt and was buried the next day in the Proffitt Cemetery"
The above statement is also consistent with the fact that a William H. Fry was living with Jake W. Fry in the 1920 census.
"H.P. Fry was a valiant Confederate soldier, a life long member of the Presbyterian church. He was never married and has lived continuously with his brother's family since coming to Young County."
Certainly WILLIAM Fry had been living with his brother since the 1900 census.
