The Portland Observer, Wednesday, October 28, 1891
Death has taken from our midst another of the pioneer settlers of Portland.  
Mrs. I. G. Frost, widow of the last Isaiah G. Frost and mother of Thomas Frost 
and Mrs. Wm. Hixson of Portland, and Isaac T. Frost of New York City, departed 
this life Tuesday, Oct. 20, 1891, aged 79 years.  

Mrs. Frost had been a resident of Portland vicinity since 1837, she and her 
husband having moved from Ulster county, N.Y. in that year.  They located at 
what is known as Frost’s corners, where they lived for many years.  Mr. Frost 
died nine years ago.  He was a useful citizen, a man much respected, and more 
than forty years since was treasurer of Ionia County.  Since her husband’s 
death Mrs. Frost has lived with her only surviving daughter, Mrs. Hixson, at 
whose home her death occurred.  Mrs. Frost had been an invalid for more than 
five years.  A stroke of paralysis was the first cause of her sickness but 
afterwards other diseases set in which rendered her nearly helpless.  She 
professed religion more than thirty years ago, and subsequently united with 
the Congregational church of this village.  Though her mind was latterly 
somewhat obscured, yet through all her sickness religion was her consistent 
theme and she died in full assurance of a blissful immortality.

Her funeral was attended at her late residence on Friday last at 10:30 a.m., 
Rev. D. E. Millard officiating, assisted by Rev. C. W. Bird.
