MARIAN FROST BROADWATER

Illness of Mrs. Marion Frost Broadwater Culminates in Death

  Grantsville, Md., Oct. 8 - Through the death of Mrs. Marian Frost Broadwater 
Grantsville has lost one of its best known and most beloved residents.
  She had been in delicate health for a long time.  In July she had a fall which 
resulted in a fractured hip.  The illness following the fall terminated in a 
heart attack which caused her death at 8 o'clock on Sunday morning, October 5.
  Marian Frost was born September 7, 1851, at Shade Mills, Md.  She was the 
daughter of the late William and Sarah Neff Frost.  The Frosts are one of the 
oldest families of this section of the country, having emigrated from England 
early in the 17th century.  They came to Maryland from New England.  The 
grandparents of Mrs. Broadwater, the late Meshech and Catherine Frost, were the 
founders of Frostburg, Md.
  She was married at Shade Mills on May 20, 1880, to James S. Broadwater, who 
died 25 years ago this month.  They began housekeeping in Grantsville and lived 
here during their entire married life.  The Broadwater home has always been 
noted for its hospitality.
  She is survived by four children; Miss Ethel, Grantsville correspondent of the 
Meyersdale Republican; Miss Viola, teacher in the Grantsville schools; Dr. 
Melvin F., dentist in the Edward Hine Jr. Hospital, Hines, Ill.; Dr. T. Olin, 
dentist, of Grantsville, and by one brother, Charles W. Frost, of Shade Mills.
  She was a member of the Methodist Church and the Ladies' Aid Society.
  The funeral service was held in the Methodist church on Wednesday morning, 
Oct. 8, at 10:30 o'clock.  The pastor, Rev. A. C. Bell, assisted by  Rev. Dr. 
Archibald Moore, former Superintendent of the Morgantown district, officiated.  
The pall-bearers were J. U. Stanton, W. E. Stanton, Earl Stanton, Hayward 
Broadwater, H. C. Edwards and E. B. Durst.  Interment was in the family lot in 
the Grantsville cemetery.
  The large number of sorrowing friends and the beautiful flowers bore testimony 
to the love and esteem in which she was held.
