    Notes:

    A lot of the information on Fred is a compilation of many things I've noticed while researching his family. I'm not 100% positive that the Catherine to whom he is married in 1900 and 1905 is Catherine Bell. I'm not 100% positive that the Fred born on April 17 and baptized at St Luke on May 8 is our Fred.
    We can surmise that Fred was a co-worker to Franklin Stevens (both bookbinders - future brothers-in-law) and was needing a place to live. Having just lost John and needing income, Mary offered Fred housing with the Leaycrafts where he met Julia.
