Notes:
The 1920 Federal Census listed Fred on sheet 16b, line 51 of the Tucson, Pima County, Arizona enumeration. He was living in his own home with Elsie. Interestingly, he listed his occupation as none.

However, Fred was an internationally known botanist. He was the creator and director of the Boyce Thompson Southwest Arboretum in Superior, Arizona. The arboretum is now part of the University of Arizona campus.
