Biography

The body of Nicodemus Fry, who was lost in the bush between Sir Samuel and Lawlers in January, 1901, was found by a prospector some seven months later. Just a skeleton remained. He was identified by the money, envelopes and notes found in his pockets, which totalled over £179. He left a pathetic dying letter. The deceased had lived in Queensland for some 30 years. Mr Fry was buried in Plot 32, Section C, in the 4th row west.
