Frederick Moorhead, son of Alexander Thompson and Mary Jane Hutchison Moorhead, was born
at Taylorsville, Indiana county, December 30, 1862. He was married to Gustin Logan, June
10, 1884, at the home of her mother, Mrs. Margaret Logan, of Indiana, PA. They were the
parents of one child -- Phyllis -- born, June 16, 1885 at Tawas City, MI.
Early in life he was engaged in a dry goods store and afterwards in a grocery. Later he
went to Tawas City, where he was employed by the Prescott Lumber Company. By his industry
and close application to the interests of the company, he was chosen general manager of
and exclusive buyer for their supply store, and had he lived until the first of the
following January would have become one of the members of the firm.
On Christmas Day, 1891, he and his most intimate friend and boyhood companion were
instructing the employes of the Prescott Lumber Company in "pigeon shooting,"
when the gun in the hands of his friend was accidentally discharged, killing him
instantly. His body was brought to his former home in Indiana, and interred in the
Moorhead family plot in Oakland cemetery.
His wife and daughter returned to Indiana, where they now reside. Phyllis is a student in
the Indiana State Normal School.
