    • Fred applied for a marriage license on January 28, 1893 to marry Mary KABLEY, daughter of Frank and Belinda Kabley, the ceremony to be a double wedding with his brother Anton, but this marriage never took place. 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. He fell at age 83 while doing chores, and spent much time in the hospital over the next two years until his death. (Milligan, p 364-365).
