Biographical history

Fred Coleman (March1847 – 22 July 1901) was born in Saint John and came to Fredericton about 1872 as an agent for the lumber company, Guy Bevan & Co. In 1881 he succeeded Robert Orr as the proprietor of the Barker House Hotel. His reputation as proprietor of the Barker House was continental and enhanced by a mammoth frog that he had stuffed and kept in a glass case at the Barker House. He had found the frog at Killarney Lake where he leased property and built a summer hotel.
