Fred, as he was known, emigrated from Illinois to California around 1910. The other members of his family remained in Illinois. In the Reedley/Dinuba area of California's Central Valley (near Fresno), he bought a farm and began a new family. Both Fred and his bride Nellie married relatively late in life. She had been living with her parents, Jasper and Maria Kolb, and working as a practical nurse. They began to farm in Reedley, California. They built a craftsman-style house that still stands on the property, which is now planted with fruit trees, at 5351 Avenue 424. Their children were raised in this house and Nellie continued to live there and manage the farm after Fred's death. She made a good profit during the Depression, managing the farm efficiently and well. Her brothers and parents farmed nearby. Nellie died of cancer in 1943, nursed by her daughter Hazel, whose husband was away at the front.

They had the following children:

+ 66 i Helen Grace LA MORE.

49. Henry ARCULARIUS, born 1842 at Illinois (1850 Census, Hampton Twp); died c. 1865. Civil war records indicate that a Henry Arcularius of New York was
killed at the Battle of Spotsylvania, Virginia. Since family legend has it that he died at the battle of Chickamauga - but no record exists of his participation in this battle - perhaps the Spotsylvania record is correct. Henry Arcularius's parents, who
lived in Brooklyn, NY, were originally from Germany.

50. Lucius ARCULARIUS, born 1838 (1850 Census - Hampton Twp). Family legend says that Lucius went out to California for the Gold Rush in the late 1840s, wrote home saying that he had found gold, and was never heard from again.
However, since he was born in 1838 according to the 1850 Census (living in Hampton CO), it's unlikely. Or he'd have to have gone around the mid-1850s, pretty late in the game.
