Note: Fred's daughter Bertha told me that Fred and Alfred were in a room together at the nursing center. Fred was 94 yrs of age when he died. His photo (taken prior to 1906) with his very classy new team of horses and buggy, appeared in the Leader-News Out of Our Past" in the 1990's courtesy or his daughter.
