NOTES:  A newspaper article (origin unknown) described the wedding of Fred and
	Cornelia:

	     "West Webster, April 21, 1890.  A very pleasant affair took place
	     at the residence of Horace Hames, last Wednesday night, the
	     occasion being the marriage of his daughter, Caroline [sic], to
	     Fred Hefner.  We had had the pleasure of attending similar parties,
	     but this seemed to be an improvement upon all previous occasions.
	     About fifty guests were gathered to witness the ceremony.  A
	     beautiful arch of flowers had been prepared under which the young
	     couple stood while the Rev. D.D. Brown, the Baptist clergyman from
	     Webster, joined them in holy matrimony; after which the guests were
	     feasted on meats, cakes, ice cream, and other good things.  Mr. and
	     Mrs. Hefner received many useful and valuable presents.  The newly
	     married couple have the good wishes of many friends as they enter
	     upon life's road together.  (Married Wednesday evening, April 16,
	     1890, at 8:00 o'clock)."

	About 1908 at Corpus Christi Church, Rochester, NY, Fred married as his
	second wife MARY W. GALLAGHER, who was born in 1867.  Mary died in
	1943 and was buried in Holy Trinity Cemetery, Webster, NY

    Notes:  Frederick entered the service at Buffalo, NY on 18 Apr. 1917 in the
	    U.S. Marine Corps assigned to Parris Island, SC.  He claimed that he
	    was "22 years old" at the time.  He was transferred to 47th Company,
	    5th Regiment, Philadelphia, PA, on 8 June 1917.  He served overseas
	    from 27 June 1917 to 25 July 1919.  He saw action at the Toulon
	    Sector, the Aisne Defensive; Chateau-Thierry;, the Aisen-Marne
	    Offensive, Soissons; and the Marbache Sector.  He also served with
	    the army of occupation.  He was transferred to Quantico, VA on 9
	    Aug. 1919 and discharged on Aug. 13, 1919.  As the story goes, he
	    apparently realized that he had made a mistake when he joined the
	    service, and wrote to his father to get him out.  His father
	    refused.  It is also believed that his marriage with Thelma (as she
	    was called) was not a happy one.

 Children:  1.  FRED HEFNER, had no birth or baptismal record.  He died young.
