Before his marriage, Fred attended Iowa State College at Ames, learned the buttermaking trade, and accepted a position at the Spring Fountain creamery near Sumner, Iowa. While working at the creamery he won several awards for his buttermaking skills. He lived in Sumner with his family until 1927 when they moved to a a farm two and half miles northeast of Frederika, Iowa. They grew sugar cane which was sold at the William Haase farm who converted it into molasses. While farming he continued to provide vacation relief at practically every creamery in Bremer County. He was known for raising delicious watermelons and celebrating his birthday each September with a watermelon feast. He loved taking his children fishing in the Wapsi River (Pike Hole), having picnics and swimming at the Haase farm 1.5 miles southeast of Frederika. In his early 50's he became ill with Parkinson's disease and soon became an invalid. His son Alvin had been managing the farm until being struck by lightning and killed instantly in 1944. In 1945, he sold the farm and moved to a home in Waterloo, Iowa where he passed away 4 years later. Some information was obtained through writings of his daughter, Lucille Bremer. Information supplied by Linda Hagedorn Finley.
