A year later, he married Mary JANOUSEK. Fred purchased the west forty acres of his brother's Frank homestead in Glengary Township. In addition to farming, he had a stallion at stud, and owned a threshing rig, doing work for his neighbors and friends. He had a homestead near Chugwater, Wyoming as well that he intended to retire to, but instead retired to Milligan.
