Other Frederick Loftin
Born: 20 Jun 1886
Died: 14 Jan 1946, Catawba, Catawba County, NCThe third child born to Washington Lafayette "Fate" Loftin and Margaret Jane Lackey was Other Frederick "Fred" Loftin. Fred was born 20 Jun 1886. There seems to be some discrepancy concerning Fred's first name. On his headstone at Center Methodist Church in Catawba, NC, his name is listed as Otho Frederick Loftin, but his Death Certificate, the Catawba County Vital Statistics Record for Deaths, and his WW1 Draft Registration card all list his name as Other Frederick Loftin. There is a "possibility" that "Other" was an incorrect spelling for the name "Arthur".
Fred's siblings were Pearl Mabelle Loftin, Patrick H. Loftin and "Infant Son" Loftin". Fred married Nannie Elizabeth Lowarance, the daughter of Henry Durant Lowrance and Sarah Josephine Bost. Nannie was born 232 Nov 1883. Records indicate that Other Fred and Nannie Elizabeth had at least five children.

Dillon, SC*All records show Lafayette D. Loftin's name as "L.D." except for the 1940 Census. Even though this is only "one" document, it seems unusual that anyone would have told the census taker that his name was "Lafayette D." if they hadn't heard the name before.
Fred registered for the draft on 12 September in Newton, NC. His Registration Card indicates that he was 32 years old, was tall, had black hair and blue eyes. His name is listed as "Other" Frederick Loftin. WW1 Draft Registration Card 1917/18
The 1900 Census shows Other Frederick "Fred" Loftin living with his parents Washington LaFayette "Fate" Loftin & Margaret Jane Lackey Loftin, in the Caldwell Township of Catawba County, NC. Fred's age was 14 and he was listed as a "Farm Laborer". The Census shows that his birth year is 1885 (which should be 1886) and that he was born in the month of June. 1900 Catawba County, North Carolina Census

They had four of their children living on the family farm: Gladys E (spelled "Glattice E. by the Census taker), Olive Bliss (spelled Olliv), L. D., and an "Infant" daughter (this would have been Lola May who was born in December of 1919). Living next door to Fred was his parents, Fate & Margaret Loftin, and his sister Pearl Maybelle (spelled Perle M. by the Census taker).
