Fred had lived in the Hepburn area for more than 67 years, known for his work as a rural mail carrier until retirement. His rural travel was by horse-drawn vehicles when Hepburn had two routes, when consolidated into one, he went 45 miles a day, of which all but four were in the clay hills of the area.
He was born near Little York, Ill, on Oct 25, 1878 and was married at Hepburn to Elizabeth Dyke on May 27, 1908. He was a member of Trinity United Presbyterian church in Clarinda.
His wife survives him, as does his son, Dale at Clarinda, five grandchildren and four great grandchildren. His health has failed during several years, and he was in the Municipal Hospital a week prior to entering Clarinda Rest Home. CLARINDA HERALD JOURNAL, Clarinda, Iowa, Jul 10, 1972
