Biography:
Mr. William Frisby is buried in an unmarked grave in Ellsworth Cemetery in Westminster, Maryland.
He was born, the eldest child of Mr. Hanson and Eliza (Barnhart) Frisby, in 1864 in Westminster. By the time he was a teenager, William was working alongside his father as a laborer.
In 1887, William married Ms. Mary Cole in Carroll County. By 1900, they had six children, although only 3 had survived. Youth was a hard time in the years before modern sanitation and vaccines. In addition to their three natural-born children, they also adopted Nellie Frisby.
As early as 1900, he had been working as a waiter. Mr. Frisby worked at the First National Restaurant, which had been in operation near the railroad at least as early as the 1890s.
Mr. William Frisby died shortly after his father did in the spring of 1903.
