During the journey, his father died and was buried near Ft. Laramie, Wyoming . Fred was only 14 when his father died. He and his sister had to assume the responsibility of the family. They settled in Salt Lake City . A few years later, a call came asking for volunteers to go back east and assist other companies to come west. He met his future wife at this time and they were married during the trip. Shortly after their arrival in the Valley, they were asked to help settle St. George . In 1867 , he moved his family to Pine Valley in the mountains. He helped haul the logs used in the St. George Temple. Because he had embraced plural marriage, he decided to leave Utah and move to Old Mexico . He took his mother and his third wife with him and then sent for the rest. They settled in Colonia Dublan where there were quite a few saints. He and his sons learned to make brick. They built a kiln and made brick for many of the homes. At the time of the exodus from Old Mexico , he brought his families back to St. George, Utah . He remained active in the church and community and died there at the age of 78.
