From the Lafayette Journal of Tuesday this morning we make the not unexpected notice of the death of Dr. TW Fry, which occurred yesterday afternoon at 4 oclock. For several weeks he has been lingering on the very verge of the grave, gradually and slowly, but surely sinking from day to day, clinging with wonderful tenacity to life, and yet without the shadow of reasonable hope for a favorale (sic) termination of his sickness, He was taken first with erysipelas, with attendant febrile symptoms of unusual severity. When the disease abated abscesses soon formed, and thus drained away his little remaining vitality and were the immediate cause of his death.
Dr. Fry was born August 4, 1814 in Mercer (now Boyle) County, Kentucky, five miles from Danville. He graduated at Center College, Danville, in 1834, studied medicine and finished his course at Transylvania Medical College in 1836. He emigrated to the neighboring city of Crawfordsville in the Fall of 1837, and was married in November of the same year. He practiced medicine there until the war broke out, filling in his leisure moments in writing for the Journal newspaper of that place, in which he was interested if we mistake not, as part proprietor. When the first call was made for troops in the late rebellion the Doctor went into the service as Surgeon of the 11th Indiana Volunteers with whom he remained until the Winter of 1862 when he was promoted to the rank of Surge of Volunteers. He served as Division Surgeon on the staff of General Wallace until after the battle of Shiloh when he was taken sick and lay so for three or four months. When convalescent he was ordered to report for duty as Post surgeon at New Albany and served as such and as Superintendent of Hospitals at Louisville, New Albany and Jeffersonville until after the close of the war. In 1867 he was appointed Assessor Internal Revenue for this District and during the succeeding year removed to this city where he has since resided.
As a physician and surgeon Dr. Fry stood among those at the head of the profession, while as a writer, particularly upon scientific subjects he had few equals. As a man he was genial and courteous, and as a husband and father affectionate and kind. His death will be regretted by a large circle friends and acquaintances. He leaves a widow, two married sons, one widowed daughter, and another whose marriage we announced yesterday morning.
