According to Fannie Mae, Fred was somewhat misunderstood by his family-much of this due to his divorce from Alice sometime around 1930. In retrospect, Fannie Mae says that he was a quiet, kind man who loved to read his Bible. He worked in the saw mill industry and moved frequently. One area in which the Henry family lived for a time was Good Pine, Louisiana. An incident involving Fred Henry was included in the book "Applehead" by Stuart Purser. Fred was first cousin to Stuart's father Ed. I doubt that Fred would ever have imagined having been included in a published book.
Information about Fred and his siblings growing up in the Rhea County, Tennessee area recently came to light when one of his granddaughters received an autobiography written by his brother Samuel Ernest Henry. This autobiography gives an interesting and well-written account of what life was like in a loving, religious Tennessee family from the late 1880's through the early 1900's.
