Obituary -- (Findagrave.com):

Martin Frost was born in Highland county, March 13, 1839, and died at his home near Hoaglands Crossing, September 11, 1897, aged 5S years. 5 months and 28 days. He was the son of Andrew and Mary Frost, of near Willettsville, Ohio, and was married to Rebecca Wilkin in October, 1863. To this union were born eight children, seven of which are still living, four sons and three daughters, to mourn their loss.

Mr. Frost united with the Christian Church at Fairview, about twenty-one years ago, and lived an earnest and active Christian until his death. He was a good citizen, well known, and highly estemed by all, a loving husband and a devoted father. Mr. Frost was a union soldier and the Grand Army conducted their services at the grave. He fell heir to that dreaded disease, consumption, and he slowly descended to the grave. Medical aid, the ministiy of loving children and friends and the desire to live for wife and children availed nothing, but like the slow ebbing of the tide, his sole passed to the beyond.

Dear husband and father
On earth we do roam,
But over the river
You beckon us home.
So we'll wait for the boatman
To pilot us o'er.
And we'll all meet at home,
On that beautiful shore


Card of Thanks

We desire to extend our sincere thanks to the friends and neighbors for their sympathy and help during the sickness and death of our loving husband and father.
Mrs Rebecca Frost and Children.
