Hi Sue Not sure on this but it could say 'Engine Driver at Paper Mills'. (The 'D' looks similar to one used in 'Domestic Servant' above it). The writing next to Frederick looks like 'Hand inj'd by machinery' to me. However, there are lots of people who are better at reading these things than me out there ... Good luck!
