One daughter, Mrs. Carolyn Macumber died in 1931. Two sons, Oscar Frederickson of Peru and John Frederickson of Winterset, survive their mother.

Mr. and Mrs. Frederickson spent most of their lives on a farm in the Ord neighborhood. About 25 years ago they moved to Winterset.

Mrs. Frederickson had been a member of the Lutheran church since childhood.

In addition to her sons, she leaves eight grandchildren and 15 great grandchildren.
