    NICE WRITE UP ON THE LIFE OF FRYBERGER ONLINE..HERE IS PART OF THE MEMORIAL INCLUDING MENTIONING THE 1892 REUNION:Socially, our subject was, in 1873, eminent commander of Constance Commandery No. 33, Knights Templar, at Bellefonte. In 1890 he was commander of John W. Geary Post No. 90, G.A.R.; in 1891 was president of Mountain Lodge No. 144, Order of Tonti; in 1892 was regent of Centre Council No. 803, Royal Arcanum; in 1888 was elected trustee of the Grand Army Post NO. 90, and has since been continuously re-elected to that incumbency, holding it at the present time. In 1892 he was appointed aid-de-camp to A. G. Weissert, commander-in-chief of the Grand Army of the Republic of the United States of America, with rank of colonel. Politically, Capt. Fryberger is a Republican, and his popularity, both within and without the party, has been frequently practically demonstrated. In 1888 he was on the Republican ticket for Assemblyman to the Pennsylvania Legislature, facing a Democratic majority of 1,100, and was defeated by but 21 votes, reducing the formidable majority practically to a minimum.
