Fred apparently kept in close contact with friends in Blandinsville even after the death of his first wife, Blandinsville native Ollive Fisher in 1903. Kling moves from Blandinsville to St Louis sometime late-1903-early 1904. In this letter to the Blandinsville Star-Gazette, Fred describes the possibility of his working as a security guard at the 1904 World's Fair in St. Louis, and tells of a surprise snow in St. Louis on 20 Apr 1904. Five months later the Star-Gazette reports Fred's second marriage to Wilhelmine Mueller on 22 Sep 1904.
