The 20-yr-old Fred DREISCHMEYER appears to be Henry's younger brother, just as Fred ASHMAN appears to be Catherine's younger brother. I'm wondering if Fred DREISCHMEYER didn't accidentally get enumerated twice, once here, and once, seven weeks earlier, with the SCHLET family. As an unmarried laborer, he could easily move about, and it wouldn't be the first time I've seen someone enumerated twice in the same census. Otherwise, we've got two Fred DREISCHMEYERs, both born in 1850 in Germany and both living in Gilroy in 1870, which is possible if all the brothers have the same saint's name.
