| Text | In the passing on Tuesday, Dec. 31, at the home of her daughter Mrs. Roy D. Reynolds in St. Louis, Cassville and community lost a valued citizen when Mrs. Mary Jane (Ingram) Frost was called from earthly labor to heavenly reward. For many years she had been identified with church, lodge and other activities that were for the betterment of the community and her labor and counsel will be missed. For many years she was an active member of the Cassville Cemetery Association and devoted much time to the work. Mrs. Frost had been in poor health for many months and for the past four months had been confided to her home with a stomach trouble. On Saturday before her passing she was taken to the home of her daughter, Mrs. Reynolds in St Louis where she might receive special medical attention. On Tuesday morning she appeared as well as usual, although her condition was considered critical, but her death was not expected at the time. She was seated in a chair and learned her head on her arm to rest and passed away as she slept. Mrs. Frost was born on Feb. 8, 1863 in California and come to Missouri with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Marve S. Inman when small. On November 21, 1880 she and Thomas S. Frost were united in marriage at Washburn and to them three children were born. Mrs. Roy D. Reynolds of St. Louis, Claud Frost of Tulsa, Okla., and a son who died in infancy. They moved to Cassville soon after their marriage which has since been their home. Mrs. Frost was a member of the Christian church, the Rebekah, the Royal Neighbors and the Woodmen Circle and took a prominent part in their work. The remains arrived in Cassville Wednesday night and funeral services were held at the Christian Church Friday afternoon conducted by Rev. C. S. Yarbrough a former pastor of the Christian church here and the body laid to rest in Oak Hill cemetery under the direction of Horine Funeral Service. The large number of beautiful floral offerings and the exceeding large number that attended the funeral service showed in a small measure the high esteem in which she was held by her friends and acquaintances. A quartet composed of Charles Willis, Clinton Blythe, Mrs. Glenn Pearl and Mrs. John Ray with Mrs. Troy Wilson at the piano rendered some beautiful selections.
