Marilyn and I have traded Xeroxes of family photos. One is a postcard photo of Frederick and a woman and has the notation "June 16/07 5:30 pm Duluth, Minnesota" On the back is a note to Ruby where he refers to "myself and wife".

Also newspaper accounts memtioning Fred are facinating and protray him as adventurous. I refer to the ACR 24 Aug 1893 mention of Fred buying 183 acres of timber land in the State of Washington.
