1886

The many friends of Mary Hazard Frost, widow of our classmate, Edwin B. Frost, the famous astronomer, will be grieved to know that she died on November 21, 1955, in her home in St. Petersburg. She would have been 85 on December 3. Services were held in St. Petersburg on November 23 and a memorial service conducted for her on May 12 in Williams Bay. She was each year one of the most distinguished and.welcome guests at the dinner of the Dartmouth alumni at St. Petersburg, and was at the dinner a year ago. Edwin Frost and his brother Gilman D. Frost, longtime physician in Hanover, were both members of the Class of 1886 and were sons of old Dr. Carleton P. Frost of the Class of 1852, long a member of the faculty of the Dartmouth Medical School.

In a brief obituary of Mary Frost, sent by members of her family in Highland Park, Ill., it was stated in part:

"She was much interested in the new Congregational Church which was recently built near her home. The design for landscaping the grounds has been made, and the planting is to be started as a memorial. This is the kind of project that she delighted in, for she believed that a memorial should be something that lives and grows. She left a vivid impress on the minds, and hearts of her friends. Her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren salute her as she moves into the future."
