Hide Details Note: John Frederick was known to friends and relatives as "Uncle Fred." He and Mary Ann bought the original Daniel Ruttencutter place on Middle Island Cree. Here they farmed, raised their family, and spent their entire lives. J. Fred was a religious man and practiced his religion as did his mother Mary. He was a loyal Methodist, probably because a Methodist circuit rider or stump preacher persuaded him to join the church when he was a boy. Frederick was a very mild manner man. when he died in 1913 his battered tin box was full of unpaid notes and IOU's of Methodists and others.

Frederick had a beautiful voice, and he loved to sing the old hymns and religious songs. He would regularly sing two or three times a week as well as on Sunday.

When he was about 85 he quit working in the fields, but he did all the work in the garden. I have been told that it was kept at the peak of perfection with not a weed in it.

Uncle Fred chewed tobacco until he was about 65 years old, when he quit for no apparent reason. Grandma Mary Ann smoked a corn cob or clay pipe up until just before she died. Both are buried in the St. Marys, WV cemetery.
