Chocolate Making Frys
After Joseph Fry's death in 1787 his wife, Anna Fry, took over the chocolate company and it was renamed Anna Fry & Son. The son was the first Joseph Storrs Fry (1769–1835) who, after his mother's death, renamed the firm J. S. Fry & Sons under which name it became quite well known. Joseph Storrs Fry was the first to introduce factory methods into the making of chocolate and the first to use a Watt's steam engine to grind the beans.
The sons of Joseph Storrs Fry and his wife Ann Allen (1764?–1829) are
- Joseph Fry (1795–1879) (See below)
- Francis Fry (1803–1886) (See below)
- Richard Fry (-1878)
They also had four daughters. The sons all became partners in the firm.

“The quality of American life is an insult to the possibilities of human growth ... the pollution of American space, with gadgetry and cars and TV and box architecture, brutalizes the senses, making gray neurotics of most of us, and perverse spiritual athletes and strident self-transcenders of the best of us.”
—Susan Sontag (b. 1933)
