• Notes

  Water Asbury Frye was born on March 15, 1896, in Rowan County, North Carolina. His parents were Walter Atlas Fry, age 20, and Wincie Lou Davis Reid, age 17, who were married in Rockingham County. In the 1920 census, Water, along with his wife, Pearl, were recorded without children. However, by the 1930 census, their family had expanded significantly to include seven children. This growth continued, and by the 1940 census, Water and Pearl had a total of 12 children. During this time, Water's occupation varied. In different census years, he was listed as being involved in farming, working in a lumber yard, and working at a sawmill. By the time of the 1950 census, six of Water and Pearl's children were still living at home. Their son Walter Jr. was living close by, just two households away. Water Asbury Frye passed away on May 2, 1965, at the age of 69. He died at Richmond Memorial Hospital in Rockingham, North Carolina. The cause of death was a cerebral metastatic lesion due to pancreatic cancer. He was buried on May 5, 1965, in Snead Grove AME Zion Church Cemetery.
