Virginia Pilot October 4, 1908

                    CAPT A. P. FROST DIED YESTERDAY

Stricken With Paralysis Several Days Ago, He Never Regained Consciousness

Captain Alfred Perkins Frost died yesterday morning at 10:15 o'clock at his 
residence, 403 Pearl street, after a brief illness from paralysis, lasting since 
last Wednesday morning.
A few minutes before he was stricken and while performing the duties connected 
with his position, he was apparently as well as he had been for several months.  
As a matter of fact, while he performed his duties well, he had been in bad 
health for several months, but few knew of it, for he rarely complained.  He was 
in the company's office in Portsmouth settling for the day's collections when he 
was stricken and removed to his home, but never regained consciousness, passing 
away yesterday morning at the time mentioned.
Captain Frost was as well known as any man on this side of the river and was 
equally as popular and highly respected.  He was kind and gentle with all with 
whom he came in contact and for all had a pleasant word.
The deceased was 68 years of age and was born in Currituck County, N.C.  He was 
married to Miss Alice J. Humphires of Currituck in 1863 and entered the Civil 
War as first lieutenant of cavalry in a North Carolina regiment, where he 
remained until the close of the war.  He moved to Berkley with his family about 
seventeen years ago and has since that time held the position of collector in 
the employ of the Norfolk County Ferry lessees.
He is survived by a grief-stricken widow and three children, Mesdames A.A. 
Foreman and N.O. Newberry and John H. Frost, also a sister, Mrs. T.C. Humphries, 
and six grandchildren.
The funeral will take place from the residence on Monday afternoon at 2 o'clock 
and will be conducted by Rev. W.A. Smith, pastor of the Berkley Avenue Baptist 
Church.  The interment will be in Magnolia Cemetery, Berkley ward.
