He rented a home in College Hill on Cedar Avenue, not far from Earnest's home. Not long after this, Earnest died and the plant was sold. Frederick got another position as accountant with Steubing-Cowan Lift truck Company. This company was bought by the Yale & Towne Manufacturing Company during the depression. Because of this buy-out, the family was moved to Philadelphia at the expense of the new company.
After World War II, Frederick retired to tend his 5-acre orchard in Abington by Foxchase in Philadelphia. He later moved to Marshfield, Vermont.
Frederick was in many lines of work: Vegetable gardener, accountant, official of Yale & Towne Manufacturing Company, and retired to orcharding of fruit trees in bington, Pennsylvania. He was also an adept mechanic.
