Rites Are To Be Said Today For Son Of Clergyman

January 2, 1940
Cincinnati Enquirer
Frederick I. Halsey

Services for Frederick Isham Halsey, son of Rev. Jesse Halsey, will be held at the Seventh Presbyterian Church, of which his father is pastor, at 3 o'clock today. Rev. L.W. Harvison and Dr. Jesse Herrmann of Lexington will conduct the services.

Mr. Halsey, a graduate of Hughes High School, passed a year at Cornell University. Later he transferred to Wooster College, Wooster, Ohio, where he received a severe injury in a football game. This injury caused his retirement from school, and was considered the chief factor in the illness which resulted in his death Thursday.

The young man was born in Newfoundland 27 years ago, when his parents were there as members of the staff of the Grenfell Labrador Mission.

Besides his father, Mr. Halsey is survived by his mother, Mrs. Helen Isham Halsey; a brother Charles Henry Halsey, New York, and two sisters, Miss Helen Augusta Halsey, a teacher at Western College, Oxford, Ohio, and Miss Abigail Fithian Halsey, student at Hillsdale School.
