She was the youngest of a family of ten children, all of whom are deceased. At the age of 4 years she moved with the family to Illinois where they lived for 2 years. In the year of 1857 the family came to Iowa, settling on a farm in Taylor County, Iowa, where her girlhood days were spent. In the year of 1875 she was united in marriage to Henry Newton Frost. They established their home on a farm near Maloy where she resided until her death, with the exception of a few years which were spent in Taylor county while she helped care for her aged parents. To this union were born 4 children, 3 of whom survive her. They are William B. Frost, Maloy, Iowa; Margaret Belle Payton, who passed away at Fort Morgan, Colorado, in 1932; Frank B. [rading] Frost, Woodward, Oklahoma, and Lee B.[randon] Frost of Mount Ayr, Iowa. In the year 1895 her husband was called in death leaving her to rear her family alone. The oldest son, William, has lived constantly in the home with his mother and has been a comfort to her and especially during her last illness of 5 months duration. A few years ago she was baptized by Rev. Warrior, pastor of the Blockton M. E. church. She was a good mother, always willing to sacrifice for those she loved and she was a good neighbor. Besides her three sons she leaves 4 grandchildren to mourn her death, May Margaret Frost, Anna Beatrice Frost and Brandon Frost of Woodward, Oklahoma, and Marion Lucille Frost of Mount Ayr, and also a granddaughter by marriage, Mrs. Brandon Frost of Woodward, Oklahoma. She will be missed by other relatives and friends all of whom were kind and good to her. Funeral services were held at the Maloy Christian church Sunday afternoon at 2:30, conducted by Rev. W. H.
