Equally well known for his professional quality photography, Fred devoted much of his time in recent years to providing slide shows for many groups and organizations. Age 92, Fred was a native of Foreman, North Dakota. He came to California on foot, as part of a St. Paul, Minnesota Boy Scout troop that trekked to the 1915 World's Fair in San Francisco. He decided to remain in California and settled in Exeter where he had a cousin. He graduated in 1917 from Exeter High School where he met his wife, Grace, while both were students. They married December 17, 1922 after he had completed military service in the U.S. Navy during World War I and graduated from Santa Barbara College, now University of California at Santa Barbara, where he served as student body president. He also took graduate work at Fresno State College and was a member of the industrial arts fraternity, Epsilon Phi Tau. In 1964, he won a national award as Outstanding Teacher of the Year. He retired from Hanford High School faculty in 1965. Fred had won many nature awards for his photography and was a perfectionist in that area, as he had been with woodworking. An active outdoorsman most of his life, he had been a skier, fisherman, camper and biker. For more than 40 years, the Marcelluses worked a gold claim in the Trinity Alps in Northern California. They also had traveled to many countries around the world, capturing their journeys on film which in turn were compiled into many travelogues and still photos. He had been one of the main project workers on the restoration of the old Carnegie Library as it was converted to a museum. He and his wife were Hanford King and Queen for the Kings County Homecoming celebration several years ago. He was a member of the First United Methodist Church, the American Legion, Carnegie Museum, Kings County Art League, and the Kings Sammers RV Club as well as several prestigious photography organizations. In addition to his wife, he was survived by a son, Robert of Hanford, and a daughter Dorothy Walker of Los Altos.
