Death of Mrs. Frost.

The home OF Rev. ]. M. Frost has been
saddened by the death of his mother,
Mrs. Emma Frost, which occurred last
Wednesday evening. Emma Newman,
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. John New
man. was born 10 Hereford, England,
June IL, 1922; but after her marriage
to Edward Frost her home wasin Faver.
sham. From her youth Mrs. Frost was
an ardent Methodist, and filled the
offices OF class leader and steward until,
following her husbands death, she left
her native land Tor America in 1875.
During these later years, as member of
her sons household, her strong and
beautiful christian influence has been felt
by all who were privileged to know her.
Since coming to St. Johnsbury, year
ago last April, she had been member
OF the Seventy Club, keenlv enjoying its
social gatherings and contributing most
entertainingly to its programs. Ia spite
OF increasing Ieebleness her sanity face
brought its added blessing to most OF
the church services, and in w. H. M S.
and the ladies prayer circle she was
actively interested. Mrs. Frost's char
acter was one that lett its impress. She
was so CHEEKY, brave and unselfsh; SO
true and loyal in all her relations; she
possessed such a gracious charm OF
manner, and such kindly interest in
Others. Until the last her mind was
clear and vigorous, and she was most
inteligently interested in all the questions
OF the day. Her home lie was ut autiful
in her loving devotion to her dear ones
and IN their tender CAFE Tor Ter Her
days were frightened by the love and
laughter of childhood Yet of late she
had longed for the Home beyond, and
entered it in the calm JOY OF perfect faith
and trust. On Friday afternoon, ate,
prayers at the parsonage the remain:
were taken to the chapel of Grace Meth
odist church of which she was a member
and funeral services were conducted BY
Rev. 0. Sherburn, assisted by Reys
]. Hamilton, W. R. Mather and G. C.
McDougall. The chapel was filled witt
her friends, and she was surrounded BY
a profusion of flowers as pure and fra
grant as her life mad been.
Rev and Mrs. Frost accompanied tn.
remains to York, Maine, where the,
were buried in the family lot. Mrs. Frost
was the mother OF four children, two o
whom died in infancy, and two survive
Edward Collect, now of Portland, Ore
gou, and Rev Joshua NJ, of this place
The family have the loving sympathy O

Chief Justice Fuller has reached the
age of 70 and thereby becomes eligible
for retirement on full pay. There have
been rumors during the last year that
the chief justice would quit the bench.
but as he is still full of mental and
bodily vigor despite his three score
and ten years it is not regarded as
likely that he will retire for some
time.
