"JOSEPH J. FREDERICK was born in Moultrie County, Illinois, February 23, 1835, and is one of the five children born to RICHARD and MALINDA (RONEY) FREDERICK - GEORGE, JOSEPH, SARAH, LEVI (deceased) and ELVIRA. The father was born in 1810, was a farmer, and died in Morgan County, Indiana, in 1841; the mother followed three years later, leaving her five young children alone in the world. At the age of three, JOSEPH came with his father to Morgan County, and there resided about nineteen years. In the spring of 1857, he came to Medarysville, was a tenant until 1864, when he purchased a fine farm of eighty acres, one and one half miles south, which he worked until 1870, and then returned to Medarysville, and engaged in the lumber business, then in the produce trade, and he is now conducting one of the leading mercantile establishments of the town. He was married, August 14, 1856, to PARTHENIA BREWER, who has borne him three children - OLLIE V., JOHN R. and MARY E. MR. FREDERICK has done much toward the training and educating of the youth of his day, having taught school for eighteen consecutive years. He has been a member of the Christian Church since 1850, and is strictly honest in all his dealings."
