Paul Walter Fredrickson, prominent young citizen and business man, is a native of America, and a descendant of that sturdy race, the Swedes, which represents one of the most progressive types of people in Chautauqua County, a man of education, sound citizenship, and a representative in the business life of the Town of Stockton.
Paul W. Fredrickson, son of Alfred D. and Matilda (Anderson) Fredrickson. was born in Stockton, N. Y., December 14, 1893. He was educated here in the district schools and later the Brocton and Fredonia High Schools. He took a teacher's course at the Fredonia Normal School, from which he was graduated in the class of 1915, and shortly afterwards became the principal of the Cassadaga High School, Cassadaga, N. Y. He remained here for one year and in 1916, went to New York City, where he became the principal of the grammar department of the Chelsea School, which is a branch of the Young Men's Christian Association Education Department, this school being located in the Association's building on West 23rd Street. In August, 1917, shortly after the United States entered the World War, he enlisted and went to the Officers' Training Camp at Fort Niagara, N. Y., and there he received intensive military training. At Fort Niagara, he was commissioned second lieutenant in the Field Artillery service. In December 1917, he was assigned to Camp Travis, Texas, as an artillery instructor, and remained on this assignment until January 1918, when he was transferred to the Aviation Service of the Army. He had become very well equipped in the knowledge of military service, and was in command of various squadrons at Kelly Field, Texas, and Vancouver Barracks, Washington. Because of his past experience in the lumber business, he was selected to oversee the cutting of spruce timber in the forests near Vancouver Barracks, for the use of airplanes. He was honorably discharged from service, February 8, 1919, and shortly afterward returned to his home at Stockton, where he joined his brothers, Delmar T. and Albin L. Fredrickson in their manufacturing industry of basket making and other wood products, the firm being known as Fredrickson Brothers, of which he has since been secretary.
Mr. Fredrickson is identified with the various town interests, being a justice of the peace and a member of the town board. Fraternally, he is a member of the Masonic bodies and the Independent Order of the Odd fellows. In politics, he is a staunch Republican, and in religion a member of the Stockton Baptist Church.
On December 29, 1920, Mr. Fredrickson was united in marriage to Esther M. Waite, daughter of Frank O. and Rachel (Patterson) Waite of Dewittville, N. Y"
