Frieda was a fellow musician and played the autoharp
I met Frieda and her husband Bob, when I moved to Shingletown, California, about 1980. They were retired then. We attended a little non-denominational church called Shingletown Christian Fellowship. My first husband, Harrison "Sandy" White, and I led the worship at church and Frieda would play her autoharp and Bob played the saw! Yes, the hand saw that you cut wood with! Bob and Frieda became dear close friends and a brother and sister in Christ. We enjoyed our music times together at church as well as we played at local events sometimes, even the Shingletown Fun Day at the local fire department building. Later, when I remarried Orville Murphy in 1992, we continued to do music together, and named our band the "Mountain Morning Band". Sometimes we would lead the Christmas singing at the Shingletown Christmas Tree Lighting. We moved away from Shingletown in 2006. I am searching for Bob's obituary, because I know he passed on to Heaven before Frieda, but I'm happy to know Frieda moved in with their son, John, I believe who lived in Shasta Lake City, north of Redding, where Frieda spent her final days. I hope she is still playing her heavenly autoharp, because she loved the Lord and she played and sang a lot of the old hymns! :) Love and miss you, Frieda. Cheryl Murphy
