Amanda, I came across this post from my personal Google Alerts and I had to leave a comment. Your post is great, and obviously, Fred must have been an interesting and good man.

Amanda,

Your grandfather Fred obviously spent his entire life fighting for the underdog and the common man. Thank you for sharing his story.

Fabulous pictures to vivify your description. I love how that barber chair has a wheel on front… no wait a second, that looks like a wheelchair. Wow. fabulous photo– took a closer look at it on flickr. Also the 2 pix from the historical society– do you think those were colorized photos? They’re so saturated.

I appreciate, too, your reflections on the size of the town and the degree of influence Fred was able to have. I wonder what the population was of the two locales? I remember reading from an architectural book that a population of 10,000 is the idea size for full civic engagement in an area. A person in a higher population feels like a cog in machinery. But larger cities are broken into neighborhoods/boroughs of ~10,000 can promote that sense of involvement. I assume that Louisville had a higher than 10K population at the time…

Living in Ohio from birth through high school, there are stories about the state that I was very unaware. Thanks so much for sharing your ancestor’s story and the history of Kenmore, Ohio. I wonder how Fred would feel about today’s working conditions and politics. (Came here from the CoG at http://creativegene.blogspot.com.
