Monday Madness--Alfred Frederick

Mad ancestors or elusive ancestors who drive US mad" 

Amy Crook of Untangled Family Roots is starting a new meme for those of us researching our ancestors. This will occur each Monday as a recurring meme similar to Tombstone Tuesday and Wordless Wednesday.

Alfred Frederick
Carte de visite
In my possession

     Where oh where did my great grandfather, Alfred F. Frederick die? I have had good success tracing him throughout his life, but his death has been a major stumbling block for well over a decade. He was last living in Avalon, Pennsylvania with his son, Robert B. Frederick. I have photos of him with my Mother in the very early 1920’s. 

     Alfred was a railroad man and perhaps he took a train to visit relatives and died in their home. I will admit that the Frederick family is pretty extended. 

     Alfred F. Frederick. I have only seen his middle initial listed once. I have also seen him referred to as Nick, but I have no idea where that nickname would have come from.

Parents: Joseph C. Frederick and Mary Betz¹ both of Columbiana County, Ohio 

Born: May 1, 1836 in Columbiana County, Ohio² 

Died: February 9, 1927³ 

Buried: Firestone Cemetery, Columbiana County, Ohio⁴ 

Married: Lucinda Orr on October 22, 1868 in Columbiana County, Ohio⁵ 

 

Children of Alfred Frederick and Lucinda Bell Orr Frederick:

1. Albert Frederick⁶—1869-? Another Frederick MIA 
2. William Walter Frederick⁷—1871-1899 (died in Youngstown, Ohio) 
3. Robert Bell Frederick⁸—1873-1959 (died in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania) 
4. Edna May Frederick⁹—1876-1961 (died in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania) 
5. Martha Marie Frederick¹⁰—1880-1971 (died in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania) My maternal grandmother

      Following Alfred Frederick through the Federal Census: 

1836-1950—Living with his parents in Columbiana County, Ohio¹¹ 

1860—Living with his cousin, Sarah Frederick Lepard, Attica, Venice Township, Seneca County, Ohio¹² 

1870-1898—Columbiana County, Ohio¹³ 

1900—Esplen, Allegheny County, Pennsylvania near McKees Rocks¹⁴ 

1910—Bellevue, Allegheny County, Pennsylvania¹⁵ 

1920—Avalon, Allegheny County, Pennsylvania¹⁶ 

     When Alfred died, Albert, if he was alive, could have been living in Chicago, Illinois. Robert, Edna and Martha, all married were living in the Pittsburgh area. Any help will be GREATLY appreciated!!!!
