Note: HE WAS BORN IN GRANGER, WILLIAMSON COUNTY, TEXAS ON 12 OCT.1895. SHE WAS RAISED AS CATHOLIC FROM BIRTH. SHE MARRIED CHARLIE WORD WAS CHARLIE MAY HAVE CHANGED HIS NAME. HIS FAMILY BELIEVED THAT MAYBE HIS FATHER WAS GERMAN, AND HIS MOTHER WAS MORAVIAN. THERE HAS BEEN NO RECORD FOUND OF CHARLIE, CHARLES, OR KAREL FREDERICK EVER EMIGRATING TO TEXAS. AUNT AGNES RAINIE FREDERICK CHRIST TOLD ME THAT CHARLIE IMMIGRATED ABOUT 1908 AT THE AGE OF 16. SHE SAID THAT CHARLIE'S UNCLE JOE FREDERICK HAD TO SPONSOR HIM IN ORDER FOR HIM TO BE ABLE TO EMIGRATE TO TEXAS. JOE LIVED IN AUSTIN, TRAVIS COUNTY, TEXAS. BESSIE'S PARENTS WERE JAN AND MARIE DUDIKA MAZAC FROM VSETINE, MORAVIA. CHARLIE AND BESSIE RESIDED IN TAYLOR, WILLIAMSON COUNTY, TEXAS IN 1914. BESSIE RAISED THE FREDERICK CHILDREN BY HERSELF AFTER CHARLIE DIED OF STOMACHE CANCER IN 1947. BESSIE WAS A COOK AT CROSBY HIGH SCHOOL, AND ALSO WORKED HER ONE ACRE GARDEN TO FEED HER CHILDREN. BESSIE AND CHARLIE BOUGHT A HOME ON HIGHWAY 90-A, NEAR CROSBY,TEXAS ABOUT 1920. THE CZECH-MORAVIAN DREAM WAS TO OWN THEIR OWN LAND. IN THE MORAVIAN FAMILY THE FAMILY AND THE LAND WERE #1. DURING 1946-1956 WAS CALLED THE "COLD WAR", IT WAS AFTER WORLD WAR II, AND THE AMERICAN PEOPLE HATED GERMANS AND RUSSIANS, OR COMMUNISTS. WE WERE TOLD THAT CHARLIE WAS MORAVIAN. THE FAMILY STUCK TOGETHER FOR THE GOOD OF THE FAMILY. BESSIE AND WOODROW AND CHARLES LIVED IN THE FREDERICK HOME IN CROSBY, TEXAS UNTIL BESSIE COULD NOT TAKE CARE OF HERSELF AND THE BOYS ANYMORE. SHE WAS PUT IN THE NORTH SHORES NURSING HOME OFF FEDERAL RD, HOUSTON,TEXAS IN ABOUT 1975. GRANDMA BESSIE WAS A PROUD WOMAN, AND SHE HATED LEAVING HER OWN HOME, AND MOVING INTO A NURSING HOME. THE BOYS MOVED INTO THE HOME WITH HER, AND THE THREE OF THEM WERE INSEPERABLE UNTIL THE DAY SHE DIED. GRANDMA BESSIE BAKED THE BEST "KOLACHES" I EVER ATE. SHE ALWAYS HAD SOMETHING SPECIAL FOR HER GRANDCHILDREN TO EAT WHEN THEY CAME TO VISIT. NO MATTER HOW POOR SHE WAS, SHE ALWAYS HAD SOMETHING FOR EACH ONE OF HER GRAND-CHILDREN FOR CHRISTMAS. GRANDMA'S FAVORITE COLORS WERE PINK AND BLUE. SHE LOVED ARTIFICIAL FLOWERS, SHE SAID BECAUSE THEY NEVER DIE. BESSIE, CHAS, WOODROW, AND CHARLES ARE ALL BURIED IN THE SACRED HEART CATHOLIC CEMETERY, IN CROSBY, TEXAS OFF F.M. ROAD 1942. ALONG WITH THEIR OTHER CZECH RELATIVES AND FRIENDS. IT IS A BEAUTIFUL CEMETERY WITH THE CROSS OF JESUS IN THE MIDDLE OF IT. THE PROUD MORAVIAN AMERICANS WERE BORN, BAPTIZED, AND BURIED IN THEIR CATHOLIC CHURCH CEMETERIES. MY GRANDMOTHER, BESSIE, WAS THE STRONG, DOMINANT WOMAN IN THE FREDERICK FAMILY. SHE WAS THE "GLUE" THAT HELD THE FAMILY TOGETHER.

My Paternal Grandmother, Bessie, graduated from Granger High School in 1913. She worked in the cafeteria for Crosby I.S.D. in the 1950's. Bessie was a member of the S.P.J.S.T. and K.J.S.T.
She was a faithful member of the SS. Cyril & Methodius Catholic Church, in Granger, Williamson County, TX; and the Sacred Heart Catholic Church, in Crosby, TX.
My Grandmother honored her Moravian heritage.
Her parents emigrated from Moravia in August 1892 to Galveston, Galveston County, Texas.
Bessie & Charlie were hard working Morvian farmers. They moved to Sheldon, TX before 1926, when my Daddy, LeRoy E. Frederick, was born in Crosby, TX. Daddy taught me how to polka.
My poor grandma had a very hard life. She raised her five living children by herself after grandpa Charlie passed away in 1947. She lost a child son, Jerome Frederick, in 1919 in Granger, Williamson County, Texas. She raised Woodie and Charles all their lives. She told me that they were in a car accident, and were never the same again. Charles would not talk at all for years, then when he did start talking grandma wanted him to shut up.
She tended almost an acre of land with her garden. She had a green thumb. She had all kinds of good vegetables and strawberries too! She canned and put up jelly.
Bessie loved music and dancing. Grandma Frederick always had the best kolaches and soda pop for her Grandkids, when they visited. She was a great cook! I loved to climb her trees and pick strawberries out of her garden, that she and the boys (Charles & Woodrow) Frederick helped her tend.
Daughter of Jan "John" & Annie Marie "Mary" (Dudika) Mazac of Granger, Texas.
Resided in Taylor, Williamson County, Texas in 1920, according to the U.S. Census for Williamson County, Texas.
Children: Agnes "Renie" (Christ), LeRoy "Lee" Eugene, Juanita "Punkin" (Christ), Woodrow "Woodie", and Charles "Chas" Frederick.
She raised the children by herself after 1947, when Grandpa Charlie died of Stomach Cancer.
Grandma Bessie worked for the Crosby ISD in the cafeteria for years. Everyone loved her. Died of hardening of the arteries and Diabetes.
Grandma Bessie liked pink. She told my mother and me that she liked artificial flowers--because they didn't die. And, she made my mother promise her, that when she died, mother would make sure that all her grandchildren came to her funeral. Of course, we all did. Having flowers at her families gravesides was important to her.
I volunteered to sponsor the online Sacred Heart Catholic Cemetery to honor her. Grandma Bessie & Grandpa Charlie and Uncle Woodie, Uncle Charles, and Aunt Rainie are all laid to rest there.
Grandma Bessie even as poor as she was, always made sure that all nine (9) of her Grandchildren got something for Christmas.
