The following was taken from a memorial to Fremont in a newspaper: A representative citizen of North Haven, educator in North Haven schools, for many years a teacher here and elsewhere, Superintendent of North Haven schools for many years, member of the school committee as he was at the time of his death, ever interested in the education and welfare of young people, and always their friend and helper."\Accompanying poem: New Englander and type of man was he / Whose industry and brain, whose strength of hand / Have built the homes and towns / throughout the land. / And brought to one and all prosperity. / Conscience was his, and tied to integrity / For God and Truth and Right he took his stand. / Who needed his help his aid could e'er command / And thus he lived and wrought wholeheartedly. / The Vulgar, mean ignoble were his scorn / A Faith was his that burned out earthly dross, / When such a man from out our midst has gone, / How great indeed is the disaster, loss. / With good and Christlike deeds his years were filled / Reward is his the best that God willed.
