Medford (Oregon) Mail Tribune - May 5, 1944: LAST RITES HELD FOR
FREDENBURG, PIONEER RESIDENT

Funeral services for William Jackson Fredenburg, Medford resident
who passed away April 29 in Josephine General hospital, were held
Wednesday morning at Perl's Funeral Home in Medford with Rev.
Dawes officiating. Burial followed in the Odd Fellows cemetery.

Fredenburg was the son of Andrew Jackson Fredenburg and Susannah
Pertle, natives of Kentucky who came across the plains by covered
wagon and settled near Silverton in Marion county, Ore., where
the boy was born April 22, 1871. Later they moved to Harrisburg
in Linn county for a few years and then to Medford where they
resided until their death.

Early in life, Mr. Fredenburg became a member of the Methodist
church. He was also a member of the Redmen lodge.

One of the first volunteer firemen in the city, Fredenburg later
served on the regular force for a number of years and then as a
volunteer fireman again. He was a member of the Medford police
force for twenty years.

Fredenburg made his home at 1203 Niantic street in Medford, but
was at the home of a daughter, Mrs. Gladys Wilcox in Grants Pass,
when stricken by a paralytic stroke Friday and was removed to the
hospital where he died the next day. He was 73 years of age at
the time of death.

In 1893 he was married to Mary Ann Peck of Medford, who survives
him. Of their 10 children, those surviving are Fred Fredenburg of
Temple City, Calif., William and Robert Fredenburg of Medford and
Charles Fredenburg and Mrs. Wilcox of Grants Pass.
