Fred Cantonwine was the son of Wesley and Clara (Cram) Cantonwine, the grandson of George and Mary Malinda (Lewis) Cantonwine, and the great-grandson of Charles and Mary Magdalena (Scholl) Cantonwine.
Charles, the patriarch of the Cantonwine family, immigrated to America from Prussia in 1806, arriving in Philadelphia, Penn., aboard the ship Orlando. The ship's passenger list shows Chr. Kuntentwine, single man. The name Kuntentwine later evolved to Cantonwine, and Charles appears to be the only surnamed Kuntentwine/ Cantonwine to immigrate to America. Eight or so years after his arrival in Philadelphia, in about 1814, Charles married Mary Magdalena Scholl, daughter of Charles Jacob Scholl, in Bedford county, Pennsylvania.

FUNERAL OF FRED L CANTONWINE
Large Crowd of Sympathetic People Pay Tribute of Respect.
The funeral of Fred L. Cantonwine, who was killed in the N. P. railway collision at North Yakima on Sunday night last, was held at the residence of his parents, corner of Rose and Palouse streets in this city this afternoon at two o'clock. A large crowd was present, including a number of friends from Dixie where Mr. Cantonwine's family formerly resided. The funeral service was conducted by Rev. I. A. Johnson of the First Methodist church, assisted by Rev. W. E. Armfield, pastor of the Methodist church at Dixie, of which the Cantonwine's were members. The deceased was born at the Cantonwine's farm near Dixie in this county 23 years ago. He was formerly a student of the Empire Business college here, and attended shcool last year at Seattle. He was a young man of good character and well liked by all of his acquaintances. Besides the father and mother, there are two brothers Ernest and Bert. The manner of his death was sad in the extreme. He was a fireman on a small engine pulling a heavy freight train out of North Yakima. Behind his engine was a large Klondyke engine. A freight at Wenas station, a few miles above, had been instructed to wait there for the passing of this train. The crew disobeyed orders, and pulled out for Yakima. Between the two stations there is a sharp curve and it was there that Fred Cantonwine and two others met their death, and others were injured. The train fron Wenas was pulled by another large Klondyke and between the two massive locomotives, Cantonwine's engine was ground to powder, not enough of it being left to tell there was ever an engine of that kind in the wreck. Both the engineer and fireman Cantonwine were instantly killed, the latter being terribly mangled. A large part of the city today is joining its grief with that of the stricken family.
