 | Frost-Sibley Lumber Company -- about 1886, Pigeon, PA
Evelyn has identified several of the people in this photo. See locator. Can anyone identify others?
In the right hand part of the mat in the original is the pencil notation "? John W. Frost & wife" with an arrow seemingly pointing to the young man on the end of the second row. Presumably these would be John Wilson Frost and his wife Sarah Jane Powell. Below that is the notation "next to wife ist Coral". That would be Coral E. Frost. Below that there is a trace of additional pencil notation, but it has been erased except for a few letters.
In the bottom margin is the pencil notation, "3rd row boy, Lizzie, Eola, Mary, Nan, Father, Wilson, Mother,". That would be Elizabeth Ada, Eola Gertriude, Mary, Annis, William Henry, Halsey Wilson, and Annis Powell Frost. |
 | First gas Well, Fredonia, N.Y
Evelyn says, "This is from an original post card. The story is that the Indians noticed bubbles coming up out of the water in Canadaway Creek and that discovery led to the fact that it was gas!"
Seems like some enterprising person might want to start a gas company. |

Inscription writer unknown.
Another copy of this photo is annotated in Mary Liz Berg Lesch's hand, "W. H. Frost and his Aunt Dora, Mrs. W. H. Frost and her Aunt Fannie Galusha"
Aunt Fanny Galusha is not yet in this genealogy. |

Annotation on back in unknown hand reads, "Grandpa & Uncle Wilson. That is an oil well that Uncle Wilson is looking into." |

 | First Letter from Josephine C. Frost
Evelyn says, "This is when Josephine C. Frost was still researching her book and heard of Grandpa Frost and contacted him. This is when he first believed he descended from Long Island Frosts. He thought he descended from Benjamin but Mrs. Frost proved that was not correct." |

You can see Wm. Henry was interested in the research.

Evelyn says, "William Henry wrote to a John E. Frost of Newtonville, Massachusetts to learn more of the early Frost settlers. No response was found among his surviving papers." |
 | Wm. Henry Frost research on Frost history. Typed by Eola Frost.
Evelyn says, "When the book The Frost family in England and America was in-progress, Wm. Henry Frost heard of it from the authors and inquired about buying a copy. Edward L. Frost had earlier contacted Wm. Henry to tell him about the book. ... It was published in 1909."
There is also an advertisement for the book referred to in this letter. |
 | Advertisement for a 1909 Frost Genealogy, The Frost Family in England and America
This is the book referred to in this letter from Wm Henry to one of the authors.
Evelyn says, "[This] shows Wm Henry was researching our family even before the other books were published." |
