Frederick was born October 29, 1934 in Oakland, Nebraska to Fred J. and Ellen 'Osterloh' Bengston. He was raised in Burt County just north of Uehling on the family farm and graduated from Uehling High School. After his schooling he worked until joining the U.S. Army and served from 1957 until 1959. After his service he returned to the farm. He married Shirley Hasebroock on May 15, 1960. After their marriage he continued to live and work on the family farm until retiring and moving to Fremont. While farming, Frederick also worked for the Hillside Dairy and the Logan View School district both in Uehling.
Frederick had been a member of the St. Paul's Lutheran Church and Lions Club both in Uehling and the Uehling Volunteer Fire Department.
