FROST, MRS. TIM
(29 Apr 1926, Elk City Newspaper, Elk City, Beckham Co, OK):
One of the saddest affairs that has happened in the Kim County occurred
twenty miles north-east of Kim, Tuesday night when Mrs. Tim Frost and a
neighbor boy by the name of Joyce, became lost in a snow storm and
wandered over a thirty foot cliff.
Mrs. Joyce, who lives on the Lee Pritchard ranch, became ill, Tuesday
night and sent her son about eighteen years old, for Mrs. Frost, a mile
and a half away.  The boy reached the Frost home and taking Mrs. Frost in
the wagon started back.  The storm was so severe that the team either
would not fact (sic) it or missed the road and perhaps thinking they could
find the way better on foot the team was abandoned.
It is impossible to tell how long this brave woman, answering the call of
a sick neighbor wandering around in the blinding storm.
When young Joyce recovered consciousness he was in the bottom of a canyon;
Mrs. Frost near by with both limbs broken and head crushed.  After
ascertaining that Mrs. Frost was beyond help, Joyce followed the creek to
his home and told of the tragedy.
Funeral services were held at the home Thursday and interment made in the
Utleyville cemetery.  - The Kim County Record.
The deceased lived in Erick a number of years.  She was a woman of
pleasant personality and always doing some deed of kindness for those in
distress, and those who know her will recall this above detail of her
ministering unto the sick a part of her every day life.
Mrs. Tim Frost is a sister of Mrs. Berdie (sic) Hance, who lives in Erick
and she also leaves many other relatives and a score of friends to mourn
her tragic death.  - Beckham County Democrat, Erick.
