Frederick Alexander Carmichael, of Fort Bragg, died at the Sutter Womack Hospital in Santa Rosa at the age of 82. He was the son of Selma (Hentila) and Thomas Carmichael; whose parents were early settlers of Mendocino County.
Mr. Carmichael graduated Fort Bragg High School in 1941 and joined the U. S. Army after graduation. Following active military service in the Army and the Air Force, he pursued acting in films and radio in Southern California, returning home to Fort Bragg in 1958 to care for his aging mother. During this period, Mr. Carmichael worked for the Georgia-Pacific Lumber Company, studied at Santa Rosa Junior College, and joined the U.S. Naval Reserve. After the death of his mother, he moved to Oakland, where he worked for Caltrans on the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge and continued his service in the Reserve until his retirement in 1989.
During his retirement, Mr. Carmichael returned to Fort Bragg, splitting his time between his home there and one in Eureka. Mr. Carmichael was a longtime Mendocino County history enthusiast, and chronicled his family's settlement in the area and their contribution to its development. In Eureka, Mr. Carmichael was active in the revival of the Eureka Theatre and the commission to promote the return of the Northwestern Pacific railroad to Eureka.

He is survived by a niece, Betty Sue Carmichael of Fort Bragg, and six nephews: Edward Bowman of Concord, Calif.; Earl Bowman of Santa Clarita, Calif.; Michael Sogard of Menlo Park, Calif.; Robert Carmichael and Jon Carmichael of Tuolumne, Calif.; Eric Carmichael of Oakland; and several grand-nieces and grand-nephews.
