The Fred Huntrods Family

The Fred Huntrods family were early settlers in the McCallsburg community. Both were both in Yorkshire, England and were schoolmates.

He came to America in 1883 and Ellen came in 1884. She came to visit a brother and later married Fred in Illinois.

They moved to a farm near Collins in 1888 and later moved to a farm north of Nevada. They moved to a farm near McCallsburg in 1900 and in 1912, into McCallsburg.

They were the parents of nine children, the eldest of whom, Louise, who was born in Illinois, was married in 1905 to Roy E. Baumgardner. They farmed here and in 1915, moved into town where they have since resided.

All but three of the Huntrods children are still living.
