| Frost Family Reunion of the past (possibly 1950s?) |

| Dorthea - 1927 |
Ninety-nine years ago today, Mother was born along side the bear river here in Benson Utah. The 86 acre farm was quite fertile ground and probably the best farming ground that Grandfather ever had, but then I don't think he was not really a farmer at heart, I believe he was an innovative trader, who lived in a rural environment. Mother loved to talk about she being chosen to accompany her dad in making the rounds with his Raleigh's merchandising wagon up in summit county. Since grandfather was a willing trader, Mother said they never knew what he would bring home, since he would take trade for his household utensils, ointments, salves, and household spices, extracts etc.
Grandmother Frost was 120 pounds of dynamic goodness and produced a family of children who were noble, intelligent, loving, spiritual giants. I do not remember her personally, but having been intimately acquainted with all her children, I feel I know of her as a noble person who was spiritually in tune with the needs of each member of her family at all times. Her prophetic comment to mother that Dad "was to be her future husband" at their first meeting, despite the objections of grandfather and older brother Clarence, demonstrate her closeness to the spirit in everyday events.
When Mother retired in 1970 she collected her many journals and calendars from each year of her marriage and commenced writing her personal history, and she encouraged each of her children, to write their life's story, "while they were young and could remember the details".
