Yes, I would love to share information with you.As far as I know Fred is still alive although his brother Henry might have died.Fred had a daughter by the name of Janice (I think) and graduated from Oceanside High School in 1967.I believe she still lives in the area.Fred lives on Maxson street and I talked with him several years ago.He was a very young boy when his father died and doesn't remember a lot.I have quite a bit of information as Melchior was the proprietor of two hotels and was a member of the city trustees (like city council).I don't have any pictures, though.His first wife Lizetta had family that came from San Francisco as well, I believe by the name of Mebach (it's been a while since I looked at the research).Send me your snail mail address and I will forward the information, you can email me at kristihawthorne@cox.net.I have volunteered as the historian for the Oceanside Historical Society for nearly 15 years.
