"a, 1879, Mrs. Catharine Frost, wife Of
the late Msshach Frost, in the eighty
fourth year of her age. The funeral
took place at st. Michaels Church
Wednesday morning, Rev. V. F.
Schmitt officiating, and was attended
by numerous family connections and
a large concourse of friends. She was
buried in the Catholic Cemetery by
the side of her husband, whose re-
mains had been disinterred at Mt.
Savage and removed to Frostburg for
the purpose.
Those who knew Mrs. Frost long
est and most intimately bear testi-
mony to her excellent character as a
friend, neighbor and christian. When
poor, she was the faithful, industrious
and frugal housewife, and when, by
hard experience as pioneer in the
wilderness, fortune smiled upon her
labors, her hands ever opened gener-
ously to the wants of the needy. To the
church of her fathers she yielded i'm
plicit faith, constant obedience and
liberal support; her life and labors at
test the verify of the christian char
acter, sustained through long and ar
duous toll Quiet and homeloving,
she rarely strayed into the noise of
life, but devoted herself to the proper
development of those whom Providence
had placed under her training. The
success which followed her in all ma
terial pursuits seems not to have fail
ed in the growth of her children and
their subsequent establishment in life.
All are more or less well-to-do, and in
their several localities are counted
among the enterprising and prominent
citizens. William, the eldest, resides
at Shade Mills, Garrett county; Thos.
H. at Uniontown, Pa; Meshach, near
Brady's Mills Orman H. in Cumber-
land, and Nathan S. in Frostburg.
The daughters, Mrs. D. G. Bruce and
Mrs. G. H. Hamill, reside respectively
in Cumberland and Frostburg. The
last hours of Mrs. Frost brought all
these to her bedside. They can do
little better than follow the sterling
example of the mother and father
until death shall close the general ac-
count.
