WILLIAM J. FROST

   April 25 - Mr. William J. Frost, one of the oldest and most highly respected 
citizens of this place, passed quietly away April 20, 1905, in his sixty-fifth 
year. Mr. Frost had been under the treatment of Dr. Leigh, of Norfolk, a portion 
of that time. Medical skill and loving attention were powerless to stay the hand 
of death, yet everything was provided for his comfort and for the alleviation of 
pain that could be suggested. He was confined to his bed nearly six months, and 
during that time his suffering was intense, yet he bore it with patience and 
resignation and several times expressed his willingness to depart and be at rest.

   The deceased was a kind neighbor always quiet and entertaining a devoted 
husband, loving father and a devout member of Liberty Spring Christian Church.

   He was a Confederate soldier and served four years in the war. He belonged to 
Company, I, 41st Virginia Regiment.

   He leaves to mourn their loss a devoted wife, who so faithfully attended him 
during his illness, a loving daughter, Mrs. Ada L. Parker, and four grand 
children, beside other relatives and many friends. The funeral services were 
conducted from Liberty Spring Church, Friday afternoon, at three o’clock, by 
Rev. H.H. Butler, assisted by Rev. I.W. Johnson, and the remains were carefully 
laid to rest in the family lot in the church cemetery. The pallbearers were: 
N.T. Bradshaw, D.W. Henderson, D.P. Rawles, B.P. Baker, J.L. Rawles, R.J. Jones, 
L.P. Brinkley and John T. Pearce.
