A Republican and a Methodist, he was a man of firm convictions and responsible citizenship. He took pleasure in watching the local sandlot baseball games and enjoyed having company. Because of its proximity to the two churches in Bible Hill, the George Frizzell home was the one where the circuit riding ministers most often came for Sunday dinner -- much to the dismay of the chldren in the family who had to wait and eat around the second table.
"The Frizzell house had four rooms, a tin roof, front porch with dog-trot, and a stone chimney. The family took pride in having the best well water in the vicinity and were always able to offer a dipper of cold water from a freshly drawn pail to visitors on a hot summer day.
"George Frizzell was content to farm his land and be head of his household. He was a man of medium height and a fair complexion and was a quiet man by nature, becoming even more so in later years when he became hard-of-hearing. He lived to be eighty-five years old, enjoying the love and respect of wife, children, and grandchildren. He and the home he established, with its air of tranquility, love, and gentle humor, live on in memory." [A Frizzell Family Record] Children:
