Frederick joined the U.S. Army and became engaged in World War I in France.  He was a Corporal in rank and belonged to the Company K, 61st Infantry. He was stationed in France for 18 months.  In one of the most important and bloodiest battles of the war, the Battles of St. Miheil and the Argonne Forrest, he was wounded in the back and arm on October 18, 1918.  At first, he was hospitalized in Paris, France, then later was transferred to Camp Gordon, Georgia.  He fully recovered and was discharged.  Over 50 years later, he was given the Purple Heart Award. After being released, he went to live with his Aunt Rose Kassell who was living with her daughter Mrs. Addie Taylor in Onaga, Kansas. There he worked for the Missouri and Union Pacific railroads.  He eventually met Elizabeth Jane Elliott , who was a lst cousin once removed of Addie Taylor's husband Albert.  On February 21, 1921, they were married.  They lived at Onaga, Wheaton, and Frankfort, until 1930 when they moved to Jamestown, Kansas.  After 20 years for working for the railroad, he quit and started a carpenter business in Jamestown, until he retired.  On February 12, 1965, Elizabeth Pickle died.  Ten years later, Frederick remarried and moved back to Cabool, Missouri. He died June 15, 1982 in Springfield, Missouri and is buried by Elizabeth in Jamestown Cemetery.
