The army refused but the Governor called them back and Grandpa was in the battles of Indian Insurrection which lasted a couple of years.

Jacob S Frederick was in my discharge, Jacob S Fredericks and this I have no recollection of noticing until the receipt of enclosed letter.

SOURCE: Obituary: source probably Sauk Centre Herald, received from Arlene Gable. "Jacob S. Frederick: The death of Jacob S Frederick on January 17, 1917 was not unlooked for. Since the death of his wife, Mr Frederick's health had not been good. He had been a good father and friend. The first services were from the home of his daughter, Mrs. C.O. Hoffman, of this city on Friday afternoon at 2 o'clock. Rev Duel had charge of the services and spoke appropriately. Mrs Harry Lewis, Mrs Arthur Brecount and Rev Duel sang "Nearer My God To Thee", "Fade, Fade, Each Earthly Joy' and "Rock of Ages". The pall bearers were Jack Irwin, L. Irish, O. Winslow, Ed Evans, C.R. Gray, and W. Rathe. Mr Frederick had lived longest at Westport and for those who were unable to come to the services at Sauk Centre, a second service was held at Westport Methodist Church. Rev Duel conducted the services from there and the choir of Westport Methodist church sang. A very large number of the friends and aquaintenances of Mr Frederick came to honor him in his long rest. Interment was made at the Villard Cemetery. The following obituary was contributed: Jacob S Frederick, old time pioneer resident of Ashley township died at the home of this daughter, Mrs. C.O. Hoffman, in Sauk Centre, Jan 17, 1917. He was born March 22, 1829 in Orange county NY and lived on the farm until 22 years of age, when he commenced farming independently. After five years Mr Frederick determined to try his fortune in another state and came to Minnesota. He remained for a short time in Scott County, but later settled on a farm in Rockford township, Wright county which was his home for seven years. Then he sold his property, returning to Scott county. When the war broke out, Mr Frederick enlisted in the 4th Minn Vol Infantry, Co E, serving 7 months. On his return he filed on a homestead in Ashley township, Stearns county where he lived until 1908. Since that time he has made his home with Mrs. Hoffman. Mr Frederick was married to Miss Mary Smith, Dec 15, 1850. Eleven children were born to them, nine of whom are living. Mrs Frederick died March 10 1908. Most of the children and grandchildren with their families were at the funeral.
