member of a family of ten children.
	The past six years Mrs. Fredrickson’s life had been one of frailty and 
sickness.  On June 3, 1960 she entered the Rose Vista nursing home in Woodbine 
where she remained until her passing.
	Mrs. Fredrickson was a kind and loving mother and devoted her life to 
the welfare of her family.  She was a good neighbor and friend and was always 
ready to help those in need.  She will be greatly missed by all who knew her.
