"George Frederick, a pioneer and prominent farmer, residing in section 7, range 24, [my note - - as opposed to the sec. 7 in range 25, in the area of Lake Martha not Mary's lake.] Rockford township, was born in Greenwood township, Orange county, New York, March 25, 1851, son of Albert and Martha (Conklin) Frederick, substantial old pioneers. Reared amid the rigors and privations of pioneer life, George Frederick took advantage of such schooling as the neighborhood afforded, and spent his youth in learning agriculture. After his marriage he brought eighty acres of land in section 7, range 24, this township, and started farming on his own responsibility. He cleared off the dense woods, erected new
farm buildings, and brought the land to a high stage of cultivation. From time to time he has added to his possessions, until he now owns 200 acres of good land, on which he successfully carries on general farming, In addition to the usual crops he raises good grade stock, and maintains a good stable of horses. He is known as one of the best judges of stock in the neighborhood, and his opinion on the subject is often eagerly sought. Mr. Frederick is a prominent man in his township. He has been
especially interested in educational matters, and has served for some time as a school officer of district 40. He is a member of Star Lodge, No. 62, A. L. & A. M., of Rockford. The schoolhouse of this district
stands on what was formerly his land, Mr. Frederick Married Abbie Harvey, August 18, 1880, a native of Minnesota, daughter of Issac Harvey. Mr. and Mrs. Frederick have five children: Thomas, Albert,
