Frederick's name is inscribed on the Soldiers and Sailors Monument at Eastside Park, Paterson, New Jersey. He gave his life in the Civil War.
(There is some question as to whether this is the correct Frederick Demouth who died in the Civil War. I believe this is the correct Frederick because: He is one of two Frederick Demouths I know of who were in New Jersey and the right age to be in the Civil War. The other Frederick is the son of Jirah Demouth. Jirah is buried in the Demouth Cemetery with his parents and with a Frederick Demouth, whose wife Jane and baby Araminta are also buried there. I assume that to be the Frederick, son of Jirah, leaving Frederick, son of Jacob to be the Civil War soldier buried at Cold Harbor.)

This poem about the wonderful old DeMouth stone house is included in the family History of Lois Wells.
THE OLD HOUSE AND STONEY BROOK BRIDGE
I will sing you a song about Stoney Brook Bridge And the rivulet running below;
There my dear mother played when a child on the ridge,
Or basked in the warm evening glow:
Great Grandmother had a stone house at the place
That is now called the old Reservoir,
While in Rockaway Vale lay the first of our race,
Who had come to the spot long before.There was Abner De Mouth with his mill and his shop
On his seven thousand acres of land,
Who invited the ministers always to stop
When they preached to the small zealous band;
There were other historical spots I have seen,
As I traveled the vale, ridge to ridge,
But the place that I love beyond others, I ween,
Are the Old Home and Stoney Brook Bridge.Old Stone House on the Hill, where my mother was born,
And her own mother played when a child,
Where the golden rod blew in the glorious morn,
And love was a thing undefiled,
Thou art sacred to me and enshrined in my soul,
And my plea ever is to be true,
To the prayers that went up to the heavenly goal
From the hearts that were sheltered by you!Susan Denman Vincet
