Clyde Enterpise 5/12/1881

Silas Frees was born Sept. 20th, 1805 in Lower Canada and came to Perkins 
Township, Huron Co., Ohio in 1816. From there he removed to Townsend, Sandusky 
Co., in 1821, to the farm which he owned and on which he resided when he died, 
having lived on the same farm sixty years, excepting about eighteen months 
that he resided in Clyde. He was a man of great firmness and decision of 
character, honest and conscientious. He had been a member of the Church for 
forty four years and was a faithful and useful member of the United Brethren 
Church at the time of his death; and we realize the fact that the Church has 
lost a faithful member, and the community a good citizen. Mr. Frees was 
married in 1836 and was a father of thirteen children, eleven of whom grew to 
manhood and womanhood; and his wife and eight children survive him. He died 
May 3d, 1881, aged 75 years, 8 months and 16 days. May the dear bereaved 
family realize the sustaining grace of God in this their affliction.
