  Notes	Fred was born one mile north of Milligan, and resided and farmed there his entire life. He quit school after his father died to help his mother with the farm, which didn't seem to bother him a bit. He worked hard at farming, but was mischievious, always pulling pranks. During his early teen, business men would often ask idle boys to bring them back a bucket of "Pivo" from a local saloon. The bucket was an empty one that had held half a gallon of pancake syrup, and cost five to ten cents to fill with beer. Fred usually delivered each of his a few sips short, and was later seen sleeping it off on someone's Model T running board. In his adult life, he farmed and ran a threshing crew. (Milligan, p 352-353).
