Frederick (Fred or Freddie) Charles Kimball As Mark Twain once stated, 'Rumors of my death have been greatly exaggerated'. Such was once the case with Fred, here. For many years, someone had insisted Fred had died on 2-Dec-1915. This may be the other Fred, who married Doris, but based on Census records, showing Fred with his mother as head, and his mother with him as head of household, would indicate he lived well past 1915!
Fred Charles Kimball, b. 12-Jul-1888, WWI Draft:
Resided Meriden, NH, b. Plainfield, NH, employed by Ira W. Heyward, Meriden, supporting mother and wife.
NOTE: This is the Freddie Kimball, grandson of Ira in 1900, listed as b. 1899, should have been 1889! Was 10, not 10m, as probably interpreted. Explains why he couldn't be found in earlier attempts.
Had once listed a Freddie with wife, Doris here at one time. Though following supports a different connection:
