Note

Note: Worked in a lumber company until he lost three of the fingerson his right hand. He then became a loan shark to local firemen. He employed his grandson Billy Wells to drive him around.
According to Phyllis Elaine Wells, her paternal uncles were "almost
without exception crooked" and "scoundrels" and Helen Bumgarner
didn't trust any of them. Uncle Fred was, I believe the exception.
Listed in 1880 census as a "sawyer" living with his grandmother, Jane Ennis.
He had a joke he liked to play on his grandsons. When they would visit, he would leave some coins out on the hearth, and when a grandson went to pick them up, he'd act like he was going to stomp on their fingers.
