Description
Portrait photograph of Atwell W. Frye in his later years, holding a Confederate flag and sitting on a porch outdoors.
He was a Confederate veteran of the Civil War, and served in Co. H, of the 11th Va. Calvary.
His wife was Martha (Maphis) Frye (1855-1921) and they raised a son together, Edward "Ed" Newton Frye.
Atwell Frye and his family lived about six mile west of Woodstock in the Fairview community.
When he died, his obituary noted he had been, "one of the three surviving Confederate veterans in Shenandoah county and was one of the oldest residents of the county".
Atwell Frye was also a descendant of early settlers who erected “Frye’s Fort,” a historic stone building which is still standing and in excellent condition in the northern section of Shenandoah County near the Frederick County Line.
