(An article from a 1909 Buffalo newspaper says a Fred Gens who lived in Lockport was working for a travelling carnival and at Dunkirk in the early morning dark walked into the side of a moving train. He was thrown into the air, had several cuts and bruises but survived. ? Is it this Fred? )
Fred married his brother Charles' widow, Emma S. Thies.They had Dorothea and Arthur. Dorothea died tragically young. Fred was a good carpenter, and worked on Marion Skidmore's farm. Fred and Charles are 2 of the 8 children of Crist and Augusta Gens buried nearby. Fred and Charles had brothers Henry, Will and George too.
Arthur bought this plot for him June 7th, 1946 when Emma died, and paid $15 for it.
Fred was a farmer. He had daughters Mrs. Elmer Abell and Mrs Orval Brior (from his obituary, all I know. MaybeCara Augusta Gens Abell and Lena Emma Gens Brior? I am not completely sure who were his kids and whose were his brother's) and sons Carl G Gens and Arthur Gens
His nephew Clarence remembered he was a good carpenter. Fred also worked on Marion Skidmore's farm. Marion is a founder of Lily Dale
