Frederick G. remained on the farm until grown, receiving his education in the public schools. At the age of twenty-one he began life for himself. When twenty-three years old he was married to Sarah Moore, daughter of Jacob Moore, of Manchester Borough. Ten children were born to them: Edward M., a railroad official at St. Louis; Mary Ellen, wife of Joseph Eisenhart; William Albert, grocer; Jennie, wife of Luther Glatfelter; Elizabeth, Annie, Augustus, Maggie, Carrie and Hattie, the last six being at home.
