Bio

Frey Cemetery From Brookshire, take FM 362 north to Richard Frey Rd., then east to Blinka Rd, go north 1.5 mi. to Frey Cemetery Rd., near Monaville Married John Frey, born Johannes Frei in 1857 in Switzerland, came to America in 1877. He settled in Austin County, Texas, where he married German immigrant Mary Baethe in 1879. They eventually were the parents of fifteen children. They moved to Waller County in 1889 and settled near this site. In 1902 the Freys' infant daughter, Annie, died and was buried on the family farm. Hers was the first grave in what became the family cemetery. Their descendants still maintain the historic graveyard. Frey-Benignus House From Brookshire take FM 362 north to Richard Frey, then west to Blinka Rd, then north 1 mile, near Monaville John Frey and his German-born wife Mary moved to Waller County in late 1889. They built a small two-room house, a barn, and smokehouse, and began a family farm. The couple eventually had fifteen children and added rooms to their home as their family grew. Now standing as an excellent example of a late 19th-century farmhouse, the house features fine milled wood details. Following the deaths of John and Mary Frey, the house became the property of their daughter, Margarete, and her husband Louis Benignus. Recorded Texas Historic Landmark - 1990
