Biographical Record from Concordia Historical Inst.: Obituary source-Lutheran Herald, III, 36 (3 Sept. 1908), 838-840. Also cites information listed from Who's Who above. Retired in 1902. Family info from Ethel Frich. According to her, 'grandpa was still preaching in a church after 1902 as I remember having to go to all services and sit in the front row, he also taught at Hamline Univ. in St. Paul, Minn.' Also, the only grandchildren were from Gerhard, all of his brothers and sisters did not have any children. Info from Esther Lium Haefner, granddaughter of Lorentz Nilssen: 'Prof. Frich was a giant among giants - not in his own estimation, but from tributes I have read, given at the farewell di nner in 1902 at the Seminary and at the funeral in 1908, he was a truly loved, admired, and respected man. The printed articles (sent me by Della Olson of Archives Dept.) are in Norwegian. Let me give you some of the thoughts expressed. At the farewell dinner, there was the unveiling of an oil painting, a gift of all former students. Ed. Hegg, who spoke on the part of the students, referred to him as Father Frich. Students always felt free to go to Prof. Frich (later Pres.) for counsel. Prof. Steck spoke of his calm disposition, his earnestness, humility, his kindness, goodness, and love. But in an aside he also said Uncle Frich could become indignant when occasion demanded it--this it was seldom. Rules and regulations of all sorts were foreign to his nature. His main trait: fatherliness. He tried to reach the hearts of his students, make them feel they had a friend. Tried to give them as much self-rule as possible. He looked for the good in his students and in their sermons. Students would often criticse each other severely, but with a sime Father Frich would say, 'I found much good in the sermon. Christ was in it.' Students under his influence came to seek more after Jesus than faults. He never wavered in his love for the truth, for his Savior, and for God's Word. At the funeral on Friday, Aug. 28, at 2 PM in Our Savior's Church in Minneapolis, the test used by Prof. H. G. Stech was I John 4:16, 'God is love; and that abideth in God, and God abideth in him.' Love for God and his neighbor brought Pastor Frich to America to minister to his countrymen. He served as President of the Eastern district in difficult times. There was much strife and bitterness. But thru it all Pastor Frich remained calm and competent, winning the respect, trust and love of all. He was a man of peace and worked for the union of the various Lutheran Church bodies.' Birth dates of children provided by Esther Haefner from the church records of one of the churches he served at. Anna was not on the list. Info provided by Esther Haefner from Bergen diocese list of bishops and pastors: Gjert Jansen Frich was born in Bergen, Oct. 24,1803, son of David (Jacobsen) Frich and Gjertrud Barclay.
