Note that the 1900 census listed his first name as "Frederick". The family
bible has "Fredy". Everywhere else it is just "Fred". Still, he's probably
named for his grandfather Frederick Miller

I found these interesting. They were in a memory book from Fred and Minnie
given to their son Abner Yoderwho was killed in World War II. They show a bit
more of the human side:

Pitman, Pa Oct 24, 1942
Dear Son
I am proud of you/ put your trust in God and he will see you through/ we are
all praying that you may soon return home/ Love Daddy

Oct 8 1942
Dear Son:
When the golden sun is setting and the swallow's homeward fly then you
can remember you have a mother's prayer with you/with love/ Mother

Cause of Death: of Parkinson's Disease
