It is unknown where the final resting place of Frederick is.

This search has been difficult to vet.  While known as ‘Frederick B. or Fred Straw’ for most of his life, it seems that he switched identities for his second marriage.  He becomes ‘Benjamin Frederick or B. F. Stroh’.  His wife and children from this marriage are called ‘Stroh’.   Yet, in his obituary from his time in California, he is known as ‘Fred Straw’.
