L. P. FROST
L. P. Frost, an early settler of Cass county, was born April 13, 1818, in Cayhuga county, Ohio. His parents emigrated to Marshall county, Illinois, in 1836, and took a section of land, remaining there until 1841, when they removed to Johnson county, Iowa. The subject of this sketch came to this State previous to the family. The country was at that time a wild and desolate region inhabited principally by Indians. Mr. Frost went to work at the carpenter's trade, and afterwards read law. He was engaged in practicing law for many years. He came to Anita in 1872, where he has since resided. He has held different local offices and is at present justice of the peace. Mr. Frost was married in Marshall county, Illinois, to Caroline W. White. They are the parents of two children--Bell 0., now the wife of S. N. Cate, and Adelia W., wife of J. C. Calkins. Mr. Frost is a Knight Templar, of many years' standing. He is a member of the M. E. church. Mrs. Frost died August 10, 1878, a sincere Christian, and highly respected.
