He had been in failing health about two years, the sufferings of which he endured with patience, but his death came unexpected as a result of a sudden attack of heart failure. Althou every available means was resorted to by his family and friends to restore his health, the death angel came to his relief, which he met with courage. Fred grew to manhood in the vicinity of Browns Valley where he has retained a host of friends, who will ever cherish his memory. He united with the Browns Valley Baptist Church when quite young, but removed his membership to Petroskey, Mi where he later resided. He was possessed of a sunny disposition and had a smile and pleasant greeting for everyone. He seemed to realize when his friends needed a cheerful word and helping hand, so he gave one and extended the other.

But let hope and faith mingle with our natural sorrow and look at that feature where the severed ties of earth are reunited. Had we no hidden treasure in heaven life would not be worth living. He was united in marriage to Hattie Todd Nov. 3, 1900, and to this union one child came to bless their home, James Todd, aged 12 years.
