"All the time he was growing up, Frederick Matthew Wiseman recalls, he had an uncanny attraction to things Native American"
"In games of Cowboys and Indians with his playmates in Windsor, Vermont he always wanted to play the Indian"

"For years, his family has ignored their Native American heritage"
"Frederick Matthew Wiseman said he didn’t know about his native heritage because his family never spoke about it"
" ... he met some Abenaki relatives while visiting his grandparents during summers in Swanton"
" ... one of his relatives spent time in jail because he refused to participate in a 1931 Eugenics Survey project in which hundreds of Abenaki were sterilized"

"He never even knew he was Abenaki"
"As a child, I remember my grandmother talking about our relatives to the north as 'that tribe'"
"I don't think my dad ever knew. She never told anyone of our ancestry."
"It was really weird because as a kid I was fascinated by Indians. I was in Boy Scouts and did Indian lore and eventually became an archaeologist"
"It must have been somewhere in my genes trying to bubble out."

“I don’t appreciate my ancestry being analyzed and dissected and told I’m not a Native American” (May 06, 2005)
“My father’s mother [Josephine Kay (nee: Erno) who married to Frederick William Wiseman in 1904] was Abenaki."
September 22, 2011
"It leaves the "Abenakis" to look like they are fraud's and appropriators of someone else's historical past" (Dahhhh!)
"As a child he was fascinated by America’s first settlers, and his grandmother was Abenaki."
“Ever since I was a little kid I was always interested in Indian lore"
So, my grandmother being Abenaki, I was able to join the St. Francis-Sokoki band of the Abenakis and they asked me to start using my expertise in service of Native Americans here. That became a much more interesting thing for me.”
[Why couldn't the reality have be that Homer Walter St. Francis Sr. decided to appoint Dr. Frederick Matthew Wiseman PhD as "tribal ambassador of cultural affairs" for Homer's group the St. Francis-Sokoki; and subsequently, Fred and his fellow cult followers began to "pin-the-tail-on-his-maternal/paternal grandmothers" as being "Abenaki" ... because he was beneficial to the credibility of the lies and deception and an asset to Homer's agenda?]

Often he is seen tripping the light fantastic at both college and town dances.

Meet The Man Who Cures Hospital Mechanical Aches
If the lights go out or the grass won't grow at Deer's Head State Hospital, Frederick K. Wiseman is the man they'll yell for.Mr. Wiseman, a mechanical engineer, is maintenance superintendent at Deer's Head.
It'll be up to him to see that the grounds and building are kept in the best shape. He'll have a staff of 10 - painters, firemen, gardeners, and mechanical handy men.
Thirty five years old, Mr. Wiseman is one of the three top men at Deer's Head.
Dr. James A. McCallum, the medical superintendent, is boss. And Henry Lee Chambers is the business manager.
Right now, Mr. Wiseman is living in the Princeton Homes development. His job is considered so vital, however, that the state eventually will provide living quarters on the hospital groups, so he'll be nearby at all times.
Mr. Wiseman reported for duty here January 1. One of his main jobs has been planning for the installation of equipment. Once the hospital opens, his job will be to settle down to routine, more or less.
In 1937, Mr. Wiseman got his Bachelor of Science degree in mechanical engineering from the University of Vermont in his home state.
During World War II, he was subcontracting engineer for Western Electric, Inc., in Baltimore in the radar division. Before that he had been a maintenance foreman for the Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company in Vermont. He also worked for the Fellows Gear Shaper Company in Vermont.
Mrs. Wiseman is the former Evelyn Martha Platt of Halethorpe, Md.
They have a two-year-old son, Frederick Matthew Wiseman.

Mr. and Mrs. F. R. (sic) Frederick Kermit Wiseman and son Freddie of Salisbury, Md., and Mrs. Josephine (nee: Erno) Wiseman of St. Albans spent the weekend at the home of J. F. Carman (Dorothy Erno (nee: Wiseman).
As for Anna Marie (nee: Hines) that he claimed was "Abenaki" back in the day, in the Vermont newspapers ...
Indeed, she (Anna Marie Hines) Platt did in fact, die on April 17, 1960, in Cantonsville, Baltimore Co., Maryland. (This is objectively validated) by the following documents:
PLATT. - Sudden on April 17, 1960, ANNA MARIE (nee: Hines), of 401 Forest Lane, Cantonsville, beloved wife of Matthew W. Platt and devoted mother of Mrs. Evelyn M. Wiseman, Mrs. Thelma L. Schlining and Mrs. Anna Marie Joh.
Funeral from the Farley Funeral Home.
London v. Loudon (could have been just a simply unintentionally created distortion on a genealogist's part.) Yet, Fred has a Vermont Cow over the matter.
