SCHACH, an uncle of Fred's employer.  

Mrs von DOUSSA loaned Fred money to purchase the home.  Vegetables were grown, an extensive rose garden planted, a cow or two were kept.  Later Fred worked at Forest Range cutting timber.  Following this he worked at Childs Brickyard at Littlehampton.  In later years he undertook various jobs, including timber cutting."
