There is not much known about Fred Stark. The Fallon County Times makes mention of him and his residence in a few happenings. For example, on August 8, 1918 Helen Wilson spent several days at the Fred Stark residence. Also, “At a meeting of directors of the Beaver Valley Telephone Company which was held in Ollie this the past week, there was a change in the managers, one of which is Fred Stark one of our deserving farmers accepted the position to succeed Mr.mr Clifford Sweet whose time was out February 17. They all joined in wishing Mr. Fred Stark in his new undertaking.”On June 6, 1918 Fred and his wife shopped for groceries at the Ollie store.
