Hi, Gordon, I agree with Susan--not likely to be Fremont. All the Portuguese societies in California merged in 2010 into the Portuguese Fraternal Society of America. A brief statement of the formation and organizations that merged is included on the website at http://www.mypfsa.org/about-us/#/. You may also be able to contact them via email or telephone.

I don’t know the answer but the city of Fremont was formed in late 1950s from most of the towns that were Washington Township so I doubt that FM stood for that if what you are reading refers to a time before 1960. My father lived in Centerville which eventually became part of Fremont and had a policy from SES. I know I had to contact the organization located in San Jose in order to collect on the policy when he died. Doesn’t answer your question, but I wouldn’t guess that it stands for Fremont. Maybe Fraternal Men’s? Even tho I have never seen that tagged on?
