DEATH OF WILLIAM FROST

PROMINENT MERRILL CITIZEN DIES AT SIOUX CITY HOSPITAL
PIONEER OF WASHINGTON TOWNSHIP

He Located in Plymouth County in the Early Seventies Where He Homesteaded.
Later Moving to Merrill Where He Engaged in Business

On October 13th, 1908, occurred the death of one of Merrill's highly honored
and respected citizens, William Frost. His sad death comes a great shock to
the people of that vicinity as very few people know his illness was so
serious. About three weeks ago Mr. Frost went to a hospital
in Sioux City, where he might have special care and proper nursing but it
was of no avail. All that human hearts and hands of the loved ones could
suggest was done to try to relieve the one who was suffering such intense
pain but it seems as though the spark of life must take its flight
to the unknown world and at 8:45 p.m. he passed away. William Frost was born
in Wallington, Suffolk county, England, on February 15, 1845, and at a very
early age he began working on a farm where he remained until thirteen years
of age. After that he went to London, where he engaged in railroad work for
three years. After that he was employed on the police force for four years.
Becoming tired of that work he again went back to railroading and remained
in the work until September 18, 1866, when he started for America. He
labored as a farm hand at Whiteside county, Illinois, for seven years and in
1873 removed to Washington township, where he took up an eighty acre
homestead in section two, where he farmed for ten years. He then rented his
farm and moved to Merrill, where he has since resided. After moving to town
he engaged in grain and stock dealing. He served as mayor of the town and
acted as township trustee, justice and school director. On October 1868, he
was united in marriage to Miss Elizabeth Stinton, of Washington township,
and to this union eight children were born, six of which are left to mourn
with the grief stricken wife. The funeral services were held at the First
Methodist Episcopal church in Merrill conducted by Rev. Geo. R. Gilbert,
pastor of the church, and the remains were laid to rest in the Merrill
cemetery. The pall bearers were: Fred Aldrich, W. J. Lawrence, __ Hammond,
Fred Fletcher. Geo. Irwin and Tom Moore. Those who are left to mourn his
death beside a loving, kind and devoted wife are, Mrs. E. A. Fullbrook, Mrs.
R. H. Benton, .Sioux City: Mrs. C. J. Daffey. Excelsior, Minn. Mrs. H.
Crippen, Merrill; Harry and Elbert Frost, Manchester, S. D.
