Frederick Moorhead, son of Alexander

Early in life he was engaged in a dry goods store and afterwards in a
grocery. Later he went to Tawas City, where he was employed by the Prescott
Lumber Company. By his industry and close application to the interests of the
company, he was chosen general manager of and exclusive buyer for their supply
store, and had he lived until the first of the following January would have
become one of the members of the firm.
On Christmas Day, 1891, he and his most intimate friend and boyhood companion
were instructing the employes of the Prescott Lumber Company in "pigeon
shooting," when the gun in the hands of his friend was accidentally
discharged, killing him instantly. His body was brought to his former home in
Indiana, and interred in the Moorhead family plot in Oakland cemetery.
His wife and daughter returned to Indiana, where they now reside. Phyllis
is a student in the Indiana State Normal School.
According to the obituary of her mother, Gustin Logan

time.
