Fred grew up on and farmed the homestead where his ancestor John D. Conner was listed in 1766. The homestead buildings are now gone, but the old family cemetery is visible about 1/3 of the way to the shore from the road. Around 1900 Fred broke his
knee and he and Helen moved Castine. They first resided in the building now occupied by the Water Witch store on Main Street where Helen operated a boarding house. Then they moved to their home on Perkins Street (the second house northeast of
Pleasant Street on the northwest side of the street). Fred was a construction worker and a member of the crew which built
the Wilson Museum in 1921. At his death he was the oldest resident of Castine. He died of a fall down his cellar stairs during an air raid drill; he had turned off the house lights and was going to the cellar as prescribed in the drill instructions.
His funeral service was held in his home on Perkins Street with the Rev. Nelson Canfield officiating.
