Early life
Now I am going to tell you what it was like when he was growing up. Frederick was born on May 17, 1893. Fredrick growing up was like any other normal boy. He had 1 sister and 2 brothers. He went to school and came home to his mother and father. His father’s name was Edward A. Ryan. His mother died when was starting 6th grade. Frederick at the time was heartbroken and dropped out of school at the age of 12. He lived his life of a 6th grade education. He then had to move to Cincinnati and lived there with his brothers and sister. At the age of 13 his father could no longer take care of his children so he put up Frederick and his siblings up for adaption. Frederick was adapted that year and never saw his brothers or sister again. He was very depressed at this time of his life.
He was adapted by a priest in Covington, Kentucky. He had a deal with Fredrick that he would let him go at the age of 15. But until then he would go where ever his fake dad would go. He learn how to be a priest. He did not want to become one but he had to learn. Around age 16 he left and never went by to the priest’s house ever again. The priest did want Fredrick to have a job and housing when he left. With no notification he could not do that for Fredrick. Frederick loved putting things together at a very young age. When he did leave he went to find a job as a mechanic.
