Fred worked for his father in the oil business which began to dry up in the 1890's and by 1902 was the accountant for the A. Froney Department Store in downtown Bowling Green. Also during this time under the tenure of Sheriff Andrew Roach he was the office deputy sheriff. Fred eventually
became the general manager of Froney's and retired from there in 1942. The 30's and 40's he also could be found helping his son Don at the Hankey Lumber & Building Co.
He also had a deep interest in horses having traveled west in the early 1900's with his father-in-law purchasing horses and sending them back east for sale. He taught a "horse academy" on Collingwood Ave. in Toledo. He and Bertha loved to travel and often took six weeks in the fall to drive their big Packard throughout the states.
One of their common interests was collecting rocks, of which they eventually had enough to have a mason build a "stone wall" along the property.

They were charter members of the Greenwood Chapter 159 Order of the Eastern Star and he was a 32nd degree Mason.
