FREYMAN, William G .:
Lawyer; born in Carbon County, Pa., July 4, 1838; edueated in the public schools, and served as a teacher for five terms. His later business career was somewhat varied, he being at times en- gaged in the inercantile business and at others as surveyor and eivil engineer, which he pursued for twelve years. He took part in the Civil War as Orderly Sergeant of Company G, 176th Regiment, Pennsylvania Infantry; after the elose of his term of service he was given the commission of a Lieutenant and reeruited a company, but the war ended before it was mustered into service. He began the study of law in 1871, when thirty-three years old, and was admitted to the Car- bon County bar in 1873, when he beeame associated with
his preceptor, Gen. Charles Albright, under the firm title of Albright & Freyman; the firm was en- gaged in the "Mollie Maguire" trials, and continued till the death of General Al- bright in 1880; he entered into several later partnerships, the latest, formed in 1901. being Freyman & Nothstein. Mr. Freyman's practice, both alone and as member of a firm, has been large and important; more extensive, perhaps. than that of any other attorney in the county. He is attorney for several large eorpora- tions, and is a Director of the Prince Manufacturing Company and the Carbon Metallic Paint Company, and Vice Presi- dent of the Mauch Chunk Trust Com- pany. On the steep mountainside, baek . of the town, he owns a large tract, which he has laid out in terraces, twenty- two in all, which are connected by a flight of 353 steps: this formerly barren land he has made fertile, and raises there large quantities of small fruits; there is no other garden like it in the country, con- structed as it is in the side of a very steep mountain.

FRICK, Euclid Bernardo;
Major United States Army; son of Dr. A.
P. Frick; born in Phila- delphia. Pa., July 29, 1867; descended from Henry Friek, who emigrated from Berne, Switzerland, about 1685, and set- tled in Laneaster County, Pa. Married Sarah E. Bunting, Oct. 30, 1889; gradu- ated in medicine in class of 188S at the University of California; appointed as- sistant Surgeon United States Army, with rank of First Lieutenant, Oet. 29, 1889; promoted Captain and Assistant Surgeon, Oct. 29, 1894; Major and Surgeon, June 28, 1902.

FRICK, Henry Clay:
Coke and iron manufacturer; born at West Overton, Pa., Dec. 19, 1S49. His aneestors eame from Switzerland in 1750 and settled in Pennsylvania. His ma- ternal grandfather, Abraham Overholt, was one of the largest landholders of his time in the southwest seetion of the State. Mr. Frick was educated in the public sehools and at Otterbein Univer- sity, Ohio, and began his business life as a store clerk at Mount Pleasant, Pa., be- coming, in 1869, a bookkeeper in his grandfather's office at Broad Ford. The value of the coking-coal deposits at this locality attraeted his attention in 1871. and after a thorough investigation of the material and the business, then in its infancy, he formed with several friends the partnership of H. C. Friek & Co., bought 300 acres of coal lands, and built about fifty coke ovens. The business proved very profitable, there being a ready sale for its produet, and after the panic of 1873 he bought and leased works and lands widely; in 1876 bought out his partners, and in 1982 formed the H. C. Frick Coke Company, with $2.000.000 eap- ital. The Carnegie Bros. & Co. soon be- came large stockholders in the company, and the eapital was inereased to $10.000, - 000. This company is now the largest coke producer in the world, owning in the Connellsville region 40.000 acres of coal lands and 12.000 coke ovens, employ- ing more than 11.000 hands and yielding about 25.000 tons of coke daily. In 1889 Mr. Frick became a member of the firm of Carnegie Bros. & Co., and on its con- solidation in 1892 as the Carnosie Steel Company, Limited, with a capital of $25,- 000,000, he became the executive head of the organization. Of the labor disturb- ances with which he had to deal, much the most notable was the strike at the
2.42
WHO'S WHO IN PENNSYLVANIA.
Homestead works of the company in 1892. This was brought about by his
· efforts to equalize the rates of wages and reduce the extravagant pay of the "tonnage men." A lockout ensued, ex- treme disorder and rioting broke out, and on July 23. while he was seeking to ad- just the difficulties his office was en- tered by a man named Berkman, who shot him twice and stabbed him. In spite of his severe wounds he kept up the contest, and in the end won the fight, and within less than a year after the new scale of wages was adopted, the men acknowledged that he was right, and the strike unjustified. Since 1892 there have been no more labor troubles in the two companies with which Mr. Frick is connected, and their employees are the best paid workmen in the world. In 1895 his duties as Chairman of the Car- negie Steel Company were reduced by the appointment of a President, and in 1897 he ceased to manage the minor af- fairs of the coke company. In 1899 the properties of which he was the official head consisted of mines yielding 6,000,000 tons of iron ore annually; the coke lands and product above mentioned; steamship coal and ore carriers on Lake Erie; a rail- road from Lake Erie to Pittsburg; 70,000 acres of natural gas territory; nineteen blast furnaces and five steel mills, yield- ing 3,250,000 tons of steel annually. In 1899 a personal dispute on financial mat- ters arose between Mr. Frick and Mr. Carnegie, but this was soon adjusted and was followed by the formation of the Carnegie Company, with $160,000,000 paid-up capital, and including the steel and coke works with numerous subsidi- ary companies. Since then the United States Steel Company has been organized. with $1.100.000,000 capital, the most stu- pendous industrial enterprise in the world. Mr. Frick personally is a modest and unassuming man, though with abun- is dant firmness and courage when needed. He unostentatiously and genuinely charitable. In 1$$1 he was married to Ade- laide H. Childs, of Pittsburg. and has one son and one daughter living. Address, Pittsburg, Pa.
