• Notes

  [Brøderbund WFT Vol. 2, Ed. 1, Tree #5006, Date of Import: Apr 26, 1997] Fred was a veteran of World War I. He was living with his niece (Mrs. LaVerne Saffo) at the time of his death. He was stabbed to death. He had lived with Mrs. Saffo, a widow, for about two years. He had previously lived in St. Louis Hills in south St. Louis and in Valmeyer in Illinois before that. The Post claimed he "had few friends, acquaintances or relatives. He was a widower and had no children." Mrs Saffo is the widow of Pete Saffo, who ran the teamsters Local 610 for 17 years until his death in 1970. In his obit no mention was made of any Lossos relatives. I remember Aunt Margaret Phillips mentioning that Fred was murdered to shut him up. Shut him up about what? Fred was apparently married to a Viola Lossos, although a city directory entry in 1930 mentioned a wife by the name of Pauline. Fred was a retired carpenter. He's buried at Jefferson Barracks National Cemetery (Section K #1922).
