Fred [Frederick] Head, 69, 604 N. Ninth street, familiar to Sheboygan residents as the operator of a popcorn wagon here for many years, passed away at 8 o'clock last night at St. Nicholas hospital after a lingering illness of six weeks.
Mr. Head was born August 12, 1868, in Canada and came to Sheboygan in 1896 where he has resided since. He was united in marriage on October 17, 1899, to Elizabeth McTaggert [sic, McTaggart].
The deceased was a familiar figure some years ago when he operated the little popcorn wagon on the corner of N. Eighth street and New York Ave. Later he was employed at the Sheboygan Falls Motor company and the Kohler company. For five years Mr. Head was with the Wadhams Oil company and was instrumental in establishing their station at Eighth and Michigan.
Survivors include his wife, two sons, Roy and Ralph, both of Sheboygan, and a daughter, Mrs. Arno [Alice] Sommer of Elmore MN. Two sons [Harold and Elwin] died in infancy.
