Peter Frost Photos

This is information from my Uncle Vernon about my father's maternal grandparents: Peter Frost and Rebecca Jorgensen were married 6 July 1893 and lived  in a house in Logan, Utah, but I have not been able to locate that house.  They purchased an 86 acre farm in Bensen, Utah, 8 miles northwest of Logan from Rebecca's brother and lived on it for the next 14 years.  This photo displays the house which has since been replaced with a more modern house. They also homesteaded 40 acres northwest of the cheese factory, and that required Rebecca to live in a log cabin on the property for a year and a half before the US government would give them title to the land, and then sell it to help pay for the original 86 acre farm. 

This farm house was the one that Rebecca and children lived in and farmed, while Peter returned to Denmark on a mission of two years during which time he baptized 25 converts.  They had a steady stream of Danish visitors for the next 20 years, and Becky was proficient at feeding all who came with a minimum of supplies. and she trained all her daughters in frugal living.
