William H. was the son of John and Cassandra Fryer, son of William and Nancy Fryer, but Wm H. Parents had passed away in the 1850's, so his grand father and step grand mother Lydia ( Hicks ) Fryer helped out. What we still do not see was Williams H sister Nancy Fryer is not living with them by 1860 only his brother Francis L . Fryer. They also had a sister Mary R. Fryer b. 1856 and was living with great Aunt Tabitha (Fryer) and Uncle Nathan McCaige in 1860, by 1870 Mary is now living in Sant Fe Springs Los Angeles Co Calif. with this family. In 1872 this family moved to Tahachapi Calif til 1880. Nathan had passed away that year and so Tabitha and her daughter Georgia moved back to Spadra, Los Angeles Co. Where Tabitha's brother Richard C Fryer was living. We fine no real proof of Mary in California that could connect her to the Fryer's in Los Angeles Co. She may had died or married in Kern Co.
Some of William and Katherine children were Mary, Katherine, James, Francis, Ora, Unia and Rosa.∼The Mountain Wave, January 5, 1893:
'A serious difficulty occurred last Saturday morning at Woolem, about 15 miles west of this place, between C. P. Lawrence, ex sheriff of this County and Henry Fryar, which resulted in the death of the latter. The fight was the result of an old feud, existing for the last three years over some land matters and the moving of a road, each having made frequent threats against the other. On the above stated time and place they met in the store of Mr. Kelleybrue where Fryar was sitting when Lawrence came in and spoke in a pleasant manner to all. On going to the stove he saw and spoke to Fryar, who spoke to him in an undertone. Lawrence soon turned and started out and hearing Fryar make a noise as if getting up, he turned to look and saw him drawing his pistol, an army Remington. Lawrence at once drew his revolver, and the deadly work began, both firing simultaneously and continuing until Fryar had fired two shots and Lawrence five, resulting in the killing of Fryar and the serious if not fatally wounding of Lawrence Fryar was shot 4 times, beside his skull was broken by Lawrence with his pistol after he had emptied it. Lawrence was hit but once, the ball striking the right side just below the nipple and striking rib glanced around and lodged in his back. Both men were as brave as tigers, and it was a case of life and death to one of both when the fight began. Lawrence's preliminary trial will be held next Saturday.'
The Mountain Wave, January 12, 1893:
'We did Mr. Lawrence an injustice last week, in our statement that each party had made threats against he other, as it was not in evidence, in the trial that he (Lawrence) had ever made any threats against Mr. Friar. Lawrence had his trial last Friday, and was acquitted.'
