Loan League branch here by call
ing a meeting of those interested
in the boosting of the Federal
Farm Loan system. The meet

today in Colville, and every farm
er should be present. They assert
that the public understand only
vagely the purposes and objects
of the loaning of government
money on farm security. To
make a success of it those in
sympathy with the new order of
things must cooperate. The
farmer wants to cooperate with
the business interests of the coun
try and the business interests of
the country need him in their
counsels. There will be other
things besides farm loans dis
cussed, and it suggested that
the business men of the town
would profit by taking a little
time and adding their presense to
the crowd.

AGED PREACHER
CEASES LABORS
(By J. C. Harrigan)
The Rev. Nathan B. Fry, church
builder and Universaiist preacher, de
parted from his earthly labors Jan. 19,
after an illness from pneumonia. Ac
cording to his own statement, the first
real sickness in his nearly 83 years of
life came this winter, from which he
did not recover.
He was born in Cortland county, New
York, April 12, 1834, the 11th of the 17
children of Olney and Celinda (Bennet)
Fry, natives of Rhode Island, and de
scendants of the early English colonists.
In 1836 his parents moved to Illinois,
and in 1849 crossed the plains and finally
settled in Lino county, Oregon. In 1891
Mr. Fry came to Colville. In April of
1868 he was united, in marriage with
Elizabeth F. Biggers. Ten children
were born to this union, Elva, Minnie,
George, Nathan, Alma, Very, all de
ceased; and B. E. Fry of Priest River,
Idaho; Leslie L. of Colville; Richard B.
of North Bend, Ore., and Mrs. Viola
Jonas of Colville. The widow also sur
vives him. They were divorced many
years ago.
Mr. Fry served in the Indian wars of
1855-6, enlisting from Oregon and serv
ing under Colonel Kelly and Major Chirm.
For these services he received a pen
sion.
Colville knew Mr. Fry as a church
builder, he having procured the mate
rials and erected a two story building on
Main^nd Third which he intended to
have dedicated as a Universalist church.
Funeral services were held Sunday
afternoon at the Free Methodist church,
conducted by the Rev. Geo. E. Kline.
Burial was at Highland. Pallbearers
were Sons of Veterans:* Geo. W. Seal,
F. Leo. Grinstead, C. C. Casey, L.
Weather wax, J. W. Bowman, B. Cole.
The life of Nathan B. Fry reads like
a novel, in interesting events and varied
activities. His religious life was un
usual in its character for devotion to
hia ideals, when considered in connec
tion with his experiences as. soldier,
pioneer, carpenter, mechanic, and
preacher among both Indians and
whites. His father was a Universalist
minister, but the son did not embrace
religion until at the age of 36 he was
converted to the Universalist faith, and
throughout the remainder of his life he
preached the doctrine of his faith.
The story of his "call to preach" is
told in his own language: "I was in
bed one Sunday morning. I had prom
ised my wife to go to the Baptist serv
ice with her that day. I awoke in in
tense mental suffering. For one hour
I lay in torture. Then a cold wind
blowed over me. I was filled with the
spirit of love. I shouted and clapped
my hands. I knew I was called to
preach, and from that time I have
preached at every opportunity."
When Mr. Fry came to Colville in
1891 there were but two churches here.
The new preacher was not asked to
occupy either pulpit, so for several years
he preached on the streets and in the
schoolhouses and farm houses. In 1900
Mr. Fry conceived the idea of building
a church of his own where he coufd
preach his doctrine, and in the spring
he broke ground for a Universalist
church. He bought the land for $65.
A foundation 30x44 was laid of large
bowlders which he hauled from the
mountainside a mile north of town. The
lime was secured from J. C. Hutchinson,
then in charge of the Idaho Lime Co.
plant at Evans, who gave Mr. Fry 800
pounds of lime in return for two sermons
delivered to the employes of the lime
company. After the sermons the lime
was loaded on a wagon and the preacher
started on the trip to Colville. While
crossing the Marcus slough the deep
water overran the wagon bed, wetting
the lime and setting fire to the wagon.
With difficulty the wagon was saved
and the fire put out. The lime, although
■lacked, was reloaded and hauled to
Colville. The building of the founda
tion occupied the entire summer.
The following summer was occupied
in hewing, hauling and putting into
place the sills, joists and. corner posts.
The next year he made a deal with a
sawmill to saw his logs for half the
lumber, and by Dec. 1 he had 15,000 feet
of lumber on the ground for studding,
rafters and upper joists. That winter
he split, shaved and pointed 12,000 first
class cedar shingles.
During the summer of 1903 work on
the church was suspended while he
made an extended preaching tour of
Eastern Washington, Idaho and British
Columbia, trying to raise funds for the
building of the church, but returning
with very little fund*.. The following
winter the persistent preacher made
nine heavy panel doors and sash for 24
windows.
The year of 1905 was spent in haul
ing logs to the mill, and lumber to the
church. The year of 1906 was a stren
ous one for our builder, for it was time
to raise the frame and heavy rafters.
Here he called for help, but none came.
Nevertheless by August the heavy
bents 24 feet high were up, and the
rafters in place. No other carpenter
would dream of undertaking to raise
thii building single-handed, but evi
dently the man who was called to
preach, was shown how to accomplish
hit work. *
Daring 1907 the builuing progresed
rapidly. The siding was put on, the
window and door frames fitted, the en
tire building was covered with rustic,
and rough flooring was laid.
The greater part of the summer of
1908 waa spent in the construction of
an automatic platform or hoist to en
able him to paint the building. One day
he slipped from the platform and fell a
distance of 12 feet, lighting on a grind
stone. The preacher related this inci
dent to the writer as showing the hand
of providence, saying that if the grind
stone had not broken his fall, he would
undoubtedly have been killed or injured.
This is probably true, as the grindstone
was demolished. By December the
building had two coats of paint, and a
high brick chimney. In following years
he built a stairway to the rooms on the
second floor, did the interior work of
sealing and finishing, made with his
own hands the pews and pulpit, and in
1915 a cement walk was laid in front of
the church.
During the entire operations of build
ing the church, Mr. Fry received but
little financial assistance. Occasionally
friends would contribute material, or
enable him to secure it, but the records
are incomplete as to just who aided
him. The only cash known to have
been received by him for the church
was $8 given by J. H. Young. The
nails were mostly furnished by dona
tion, the most liberal contributors be
ing Jack Stevens 100 pounds, L. Dann
heiser 100 pounds, Sig Dilsheimer 100
pounds, James Petty 80 pounds, W. H.
Graham 60 pounds.
Mr. Fry met with considerable dis
couragement at times, but he ever kept
a strong heart in his work. The city
council was twice petitioned to have the
work stopped or declared a nuisance,
but no action was taken. Numerous
complaints were lodged as to the fire
risk of the enterprise, and the manner
in which he piled his lumber around the
church and in the street.
On occasions in recent years he has
held service In his church, and although
few came to listen, he never for a mo
ment lost heart. He felt that he had a
work to do, and that he was doing
everything possible toward its end.
His one unfulfilled ambition was to have
the church dedicated by the Universa
list organization, but he never divulged
the reason, if there was any, why this
fraternal assistance was denied him.
Mr. Fry spoke the Chinook language,
and made many trips among the Indians,
preaching and teaching, and establish
ing friendly relations. The Colville
Indians had promised to come to the
dedication.
In visions and dreams the veteran
preacher received his spiritual guidance,
and "divine warnings" often enabled
him to avoid danger, illness and trouble
His great pleasure was to sit in the
doorway of his church, where he also
lived, and with bible in hand pour over
the scriptural passages which were so
dear to him. . Every passer-by was
greeted with some friendly word, and
those who were counted by him as real
friends were ever told how nicely he
was getting along, how good his health
was, and how bright were his prospects
for finally dedicating the finished
church. The writer has never regretted
the time spent in listening to the prog
ress of the work, the aims and hopes of
the preacher, and in giving cheer to the
man whose life held one main purpose
•nd who could not be swayed.
Humble as the lesson may be, there
is a lesson in the life of this preacher
which may wel^be heeded by the youth
who thought lightly of his efforts. He
had set his aim high. He had appar
ently attempted the impossible. Yet
he accomplished his end—because he
kept steadfastly to that end.
Quick Response
to Call for Help
A liberal response has met the plea
of the Examiner in last week's article
regarding a destitute family. Inas
much as there have been so few really
desperate cases in this vicinity, especial
effort has been made in this one to give
immediate results. Clothing, food and
household equipment have been donated.
The ladies of Colville have made indi
vidual and organized effort to look after
this cane, as well as' any others that
may come to their attention. Some
money has been given to buy needed
things. Next Tuesday a benefit party
will be given by four of the public
spirited women of Colville.
The 3-weeks-old baby has joined its
mother, adding further sadness to 4he
home which lost the wife and mother.
Help has been extended to the family
by immediate neighbors, and the Col
ville clothing and-provisions have been
placed either in the home or in, the
hands of neighbors who will see that
•very article is used. Clothing wants
are now fully supplied, but a little finan
cial aid for medical attendance is yet
necessary.
The Examiner has no intention of
making public any of the contributors
or the recipients. If people have a
real sense of the beauty of charity,' their
act alone is sufficient reward to them.
And those who need aid, and are justly
deserving of it, already have enough
troubles to bear without having them
published.
The Examiner has found some who de
sired to know the people being aided, be
foie they would give anything. Yet the
many have simply asked what was most
needed. One lady from Meyers Falls,
to whom charitable acts are evidently
not new, brought in a $5 billVid asked
that it be used us most needed. A
prominent Colville business man made
a donation which marks him as a gen
uine citizen. The ladies of the five
church organizations have done their
work quickly and thoroughly.
It is now suggested that the people
of Colville continue to place in the
hands of the ladies who are attending
to charity, such articleo of clothing or
household equipment as is possible, for
other or future needs of deserving fam
ilies. The M. E., Congregational, Free
Methodist, Christian and Baptist
churches have organizations which at
tend to this, and if a supply were on
hand, no direct public appeal would be
necessary in time of emergency.
It might be stated that the family
which has just been helped is fully ap
preciative of the work done, snd the
Examiner is more than pleased to have
been an instrument in the work, and to
Drove that Colville retains her old-time
■pirit of community interest and charity
for all within her reach.
