   SAMUEL DUNBAR FREY, retired druggist, Findlay, was born in Somerset County.
Penn., July 18. 1826, and comes of worthy German ancestry (on his father's side)
in Maryland. His grandfather, Frey, settled in Baltimore, Md. (from Germany)
where he was prominently connected with his profession of civil engineering and
surveying, and did some important contracting and building, among which might be
mentioned the National Road from Baltimore to Washington, D. C. He left a large
family. Dr. William Frey, father of our subject, left a good practice in
Pennsylvania and returned to Maryland, where he represented Alleghany County on
different occasions in the Legislature of that State. He died in 1865, aged
sixty-five years, leaving a family of seven sons and one daughter. Three of the
sons have worthily represented the father's profession. Our subject completed a
good education at Uniontown Academy, graduating in a classical and scientific
course of study, and read medicine for a few years. He, however, disliked the
practice of medicine, and turned his attention to other pursuits. In 1851 he
came West, and was connected with railway building for some time with
headquarters at Bellefontaine, Ohio. In 1857 he came to Findlay, and
subsequently embarked in the drug business. He was married, in Somerset County,
Penn., in 1851, to Priscilla B., daughter of John Slicer, and by her he has one
son, William, who carries on the drug business. Mr. Frey has always been a
liberal supporter of measures tending to the growth of his adopted city. He is a
worthy Mason of over twenty-three years' standing, a liberal supporter of the
Methodist Church, and socially is an excellent gentleman.
