"Frederick, the second surviving son of John and Ellen McCarthy, was born in America, in 1850. He grew up to become a printer like his brother Timothy, and to marry one Annie Klinges. She was the daughter of Adam Klinges, a Bavarian immigrant, who married Eva Uhrlacher, a native of Alsace-Lorraine. Both parents died about 1896. The story of Fred and Annie is best told in the following memoir by the daughter Eva, who became Sister Mary Frederica, S.S.J."
"Frederick Lyons McCarthy, My Recollections of My Father by Sister Mary Frederica"
"There is nothing startling to write about, as my earliest recollection is when I was about four. Papa would be sitting at his most favored spot, in front of the coal range in the kitchen with me on the floor blacking his shoes."
"How did the family come about? My Father was employed in the press room (as a press man) of the Daily Newspaper, the Democrat (which may have been of German interest, but later became the Public Ledger). Annie C. Klinges was employed in the office of the Democrat, and Annie and Fred became acquainted. In a short time, Fred asked Miss Annie if she would give him lessons in German. As Annie was the youngest of a large family, all married, she boarded in the home of Mrs. Mary Kelly. Mary was quick to estimate the lessons, but when she said they were a pretext Miss Annie was quite indignant. However, Mary proved to be quite correct, and soon wedding bells were ringing."
"They were married in Old Holy Trinity Church, at Sixth and Spruce Streets. Their wedding trip was to their new home, Vine Street near Thirteenth, June 18, 1886."
"Sister Frederica also told how Adam and Eva happened to meet. It seems that Adam Klinges's parents ran a boarding house in Philadelphia, and that it was Adam's custom to meet the incoming passenger whips with a horse and wagon, so that he could find and transport German speaking immigrants back to reside in the boarding house. On one of these trips he picked up Miss Eva Uhrlacher, and propinquity led to friendship and love."
