From age six he and the family (brothers Ralph, deceased, and Bob, 86, who lives in Iowa) lived on a farm south and east of Pittsfield. After attending one- room Prairie School, he enrolled in high school in Pittsfield, graduating in 1939 in the first class graduated from the newly consolidated Pittsfield Community High.
Fred attended business school in St. Louis, Mo., then worked there until the • start of World War II. A bone disease in his adolescence disqualified him from service in the U.S.. military, so he joined the American Field Service and served for two years as a front-lines ambulance driver with British field forces fighting the Japanese armies in India and Manna.
After war service, Fred was accountant for the Kent and Benson partnership, which sold and serviced Dodge and Plymouth autos in Pittsfield, until he enrolled at the University of Illinois. After taking his B.S. degree in geology in 1948, he joined Creole Oil, first working in southern Illinois and then as a professional geologist on rigs drilling for oil in Venezuela—including to that time the company's deepest well, over 17,000 feet under Lake Maracaibo.
Upon returning to the United States, Fred earned his master's degree in education at Nazarene College in Illinois and took his first teaching post in Colorado. there he met and married Claudia Kay Smiley. Together, they emigrated to the Canadian province of British Columbia, settling at Maniere, near Kamloops in southern B.C.
Five sons and a daughter were born to that union, all survive: Stephen (Coleen) of Hazelton, B.C.; Susan (Lynn) Davison, Bellingham, Wash; David, Bellingham. Wash; Andrew, Fresno, Calif.; Daniel (Christine), suburban Los Angeles; and Timothy (Leticia), Bellingham, Wash. There. are 13 grandchildren and three great- grandchildren.
Fred was administrator, teacher, and coach in government schools for Native American children in Barrier and later at Hazelton, B.C. Over more than two decades with the schools, he continued geological consulting as a sideline, as a consultant prospecting for precious metals and precious stones in Canada and northern United States. Also he worked as a geologist-consultant with oil drillers in Kentucky, and he spearheaded several humanitarian missions to develop wells and water resources ' in foreign lands in South America, Africa, and the Near East.
After his years Ur education in Canada, Fred and Kay returned to the United States with their maturing children. 'They settled first in Helena, MT; when the nest was emptied, they lived a number of years in Philipsburg, MT. Over the last decade, they relocated to Bellingham, WA where three of their children had established their homes and families. Fred continued on occasional consulting missions abroad and in the U.S.A before fully retiring..
A lifelong hunter and fisherman, Fred and family hosted annually his brother Ralph and sister-in-law Laverne, of Pittsfield, for months-long adventures in Canada. As a bow-hunter, he typically bagged a bear and deer or elk to augment thr menu for the growing family
He was the third Fred Kern in the family that had a Pittsfield resident bearing the the name Kern for 150 consecutive years.
His great-grandfather, George Frederick Kern came to Pittsfield from Germany to work in the Kespolul brickyard, where he married the owner's daughter, Henrietta. Their first son, Fred, lived to age 85 in the Line 14 community; his son Karl, fathered this Fred Kern. His nephew, Robert Fred Kern, Dallas. Texas--son of Laverne and Ralph Kern, grew up in Pittsfield and once taught music in the elementary school here. Until Fred got a birth certificate to join American Field Service in 1943, the family thought his name was James Fred Kern—taking the names of Grandfather James Thomas and Grandfather Fred Kern. 'They discovered then that the latter had himself registered the birth of new grandson as Fred Kern,Jr
As a menther of youth groups in the Pittsfield Methodist Church and then through his high-school years, Fred was best-known of the Kern family children: out-going and extraverted in adolescence. Even with few return visits to his hometown, his memory remained vibrant with his former friends
