Fred was the
son of Don Raymond Kite and Anna Elizabeth Fisher Kite. He was raised first at
New Paltz where his father was a Rural Free Delivery mail carrier. In 1940, he
resided with his maternal grandmother, Eliza Fisher, at Kent, New York. She was
the owner and operator of a farm at that place. Fred served in the United
States Navy during World War II from 1943 to 1946. He was a resident of Andes,
New York when he married to Marjorie Claudia Schloss on 16 September 1950 at
Walton. She was more commonly known as Marge. They made their home at that
place where he was a fireman. In 1950, he was chosen to play outfield for the
Delaware-Sullivan All Star Team. He served as secretary, in 1963, of Walton’s
Fire Company 3, Fancher Hook and Ladder Company; and, in 1968, he served on
their membership committee. Fred was also one of two directors of Round-Up
Ranch Golf Club at Downsville, New York. Fred and Marge were the parents of two
children, a daughter and a son. Fred was buried at Walton Cemetery. He was the
husband of my fifth cousin once removed.
