She became a Christian at an early age. Frederica was the eldest of 13 children and grew to womanhood near Highland, Illinois. On March 6, 1893, she was united in marriage to Henry Burghardt, and they resided in Illinois until 1900, when they came to Oklahoma and homesteaded north of Oakwood. In 1927 they moved into the Leonel Community.
She leaves to mourn her passing, 4 sons: Edwin of Watonga, Wilbert of Oakwood; Theodore and Frank of Canton; and 2 daughters, Mrs. Martha Reese and Mrs. Leona Nusz of Canton. Her husband preceded her in death in 1939, as did two sons, Alvin and Hugo in recent years.
