Donald Lee Fry, II
A Fulton high school basketball star, apparently hurrying home so he wouldn’t break
training rules, was killed instantly about 10 p.m. Monday when his car crashed on the Green Oak
road south of Rochester. The body lay pinned in the wreckage for eight hours before being
discovered by a passing motorist.
He was Donald Lee FRY, II, 17, son of Donald Lee and Merl McCLAIN FRY of Fulton.
President of the senior class at Fulton high, the boy was averaging 17.3 points a game, fourth
highest among area basketball players. He was a regular guard on the Bulldogs team.
The wrecked 1953 four-door Plymouth, with Fry’s body inside, was discovered at 6 a.m.
today by Harold BEAUDOIN, who lives a half mile east of the accident site. He was going to the
Lillian BARGER ferm to do chores. The crash occurred across the road from the Barger farm,
about one-half mile east of Ind. 25 or about four miles south of Rochester.
According to reports assembled by the sheriff’s office, the boy had taken his girlfriend to
the home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Fred GOTTSCHALK, who live on U.S. 31, south of the
Green Oak road. He left the Gottschalk residence about 9:50 p.m., went north on U.S. 31, turned
west onto the Green Oak road and apparently planned to turn south on Ind. 25 and arrive at his
home in Fulton.
