(died May 10, 1906)

The death of Mr. L. L. Frost occurred suddenly last Thursday morning. He had been unwell for a week, and was at the summer home of his son Fred near Liberty. He had apparently recovered however, and intended to return to the mill that morning. After breakfast, however, he complained of feeling ill, lay down on a lounge, and died very soon. Acute indigestion was considered the cause of his death. He was 58 years of age.

Mr. L. L. Frost

In concluding a long obituary of Mr. Frost the Ellenville Journal well speaks, as follows: Mr. Frost never sought political preferment, though more than once offered an election to the New Hampshire legislators. He was in every sense of the word, a self-made man, and yet he was one of "God’s noblemen." The keynote of his life was unselfishness. No sacrifice was considered, or even realized, when another’s happiness was concerned. No one in need was ever spurned by him. He had an unconquerable will, which knew no defeat; and yet possessed a happy, kindly disposition. From early manhood, he was a member and an active and consistent supporter of the Methodist Episcopal church. He was a man of untarnished reputation, of spotless integrity and consistent Christian life.

Mr. Front is survived by a widow, Harriet L., two sons--Frederic W., a counselor at law, of Wall Street, New York, and Luther H., was succeeds his father as business manager of the Frost and Sons Paper Co.; and one daughter, Lorena M. Frost who is connected with the College Settlement in New York. He leaves also one brother, Mr. Leroy B. Frost, of Battleboro, Vermont.
