Air, Fredrick was born in Caledonia Township of Waupaca County Aiarch 26, 1866, a son of Joseph and Ruth (Rand) Fredrick. His father was born in Clinton County, New York, and his mother in Aver¬ ment, and they were among the pioneer settlers of New London, arriving there in the early '50s, when New London was nothing more than a lumbering village and center. In connection with the history of New London an important item is the fact that the first white girl born there was Mary Fredrick, now Airs, Hugh AIcHugh. Joseph Fredrick for some years was engineer in the sawmill at New London, but during the '60s he moved to a farm in Caledonia Township. He at first rented some of the Tucker land, but later homesteaded eighty acres in the same township, and continued his active work as a farmer there until his death in April, 1890. His widow remained with her son Henry until her death in September, 1911. Joseph Fredrick w^as a member of the United Brethren Church while his wife was a Aiethodist, Their children were Francis, Benjamin, of New London, Alary, Moses, David, Henry A,, Eliza and John, who died February 13, 1917. These are all living except Francis and John. Francis at the outbreak of the Civil war went away as a soldier in the Third Wisconsin Volunteer Infantry, and later all knowledge as to his fate or whereabouts was lost, and he never returned home after starting for the front.
Henry A. Fredrick grew up on the old homestead in Caledonia Township and attended the District School No. 2 there. He learned farming under the direction of his father, and after the latter's death he bought out the interests of the other heirs and continued to make his home until he sold out in 1897 and moved to his present place of eighty acres in Lebanon Township. These eighty acres have responded to his intelligent management, have brought him a comfortable living, and he has contributed to the value of the farm by the erection of all the present buildings. Some years ago he lost both the barn and the'house that originally stood on the place by fire, but has replaced them by much better and more modern buildings. One adjunct of his barn is a large silo and he finds silage a very profitable feed in connection with the pro¬ duction of milk.
He takes an active interest in local affairs, and for the last fifteen years has been clerk of the school district, an office he still holds. He and his family are members of the Lutheran Church.
