Ryan (buried in Craig Cemetery, Craig, NE) and Clyde F. Isaacson (died March 1975 in Red Oak, IA, he was adopted by C. O. Walfred & Clara Isaacson).
In 1910, Fred was listed as widowed on census and worked as a laborer for a well drilling company. He roomed at a house in Oakland and son, Joseph, lived with another family in Oakland.
Fred married Alfrelda "Hilda" Ryan on 14 Oct 1912 in Council Bluffs, Iowa. They lived in Oakland, Nebr. and Fred worked as a laborer for an excavation contractor and after retiring from the well drilling business, he worked as caretaker at the Oakland cemetery.

There were three sons born before their marriage, Joseph Ryan and Clyde Isaacson (Fred's sons) and Everett (named Everett Ryan on 1920 census, but I believe he was Hilda's son born in Sweden).
