Mr. Frederick was born in Laurenceburg, Dearborn county, Indiana, November 3, 1862, was there first apprenticed to his trade, which he finished at Indianapolis, and this latter fact may account for the metropolitan style and taste which characterizes every garment lie makes to order. He began his apprenticeship when a lad of fourteen years, when his mind was easily impressed with whatever was elegant, served three years and then worked as a journeyman three years in Indianapolis. His next step was to come to New Castle and on opening business here at once secured the best class of patrons in the town, and they, being well pleased with his tasteful work, have steadfastly adhered to him ever since, and this fact has brought him many new customers who are equally well pleased. He now employs six workmen, and these are the best to be found. He is located at 114 North Main Street, an excellent part of the town. Mr. Frederick was joined in matrimony, December 28, 1887', with Miss Lizzie Krauer, daughter of Andrew F. Krauer, of New Castle, and this union has been blessed with one son, Karl A., born December 18, 1888. In politics Mr. Frederick is a Democrat, but is not particularly active as a politician. Fraternally he is a Knight of Pythias and a Red Man, and as a citizen he leads a commendable and useful life.
