Fred gradually got blind, starting at age 6, and was totally blind by age 20. The blindness was caused by
measles, together with a presumed previous case of scarlet fever (presumably at the same time Albert had
scarlet fever) which was untreated and settled into his eyes. His optic nerves wasted away.
Walter bought a dairy farm (near Alfonso's farm) for Fred when Fred got married and gave it to him,
thereby keeping a promise he had made to his mother. Walter built a house there for the hired man, who
did the farm work. They retired from farming in 1977.
The son Robert now has both farms.
Fred was a piano tuner when he got out of the school for the blind (in Vinton, Iowa), and someone named
Alvin (not Alwin Kinne) took him around to customers' houses. He also made rugs.
Died May 12, 1988, and buried in Fort Dodge, Iowa.
