Lyman Frost was born in New Hampshire, February 10, 1821, a son of Dr. Ephraim K. Frost, who came to Lancaster county with his son Lyman's family in 1868[?], and here passed away a few years later. His entire life was devoted to the practice of medicine and he followed his profession in New Hampshire, New York and Iowa. The Frost family, which is of English origin, is represented by numerous members in New England, many of whom are prominent, and annually there is held in Massachusetts a Frost family reunion. Lyman Frost was married in New York about 1850 to Laura Augusta Gray, and to them have been born six children, four of whom are now living. The family record includes Cornelia P., the widow of the late Henry D. Blakeslee of Upland, California; Alice M., the wife of George E. Howard, Ph.D., a member of the faculty of the University of Nebraska; Charles Sumner, deceased; Flora E., the wife of N. V. Snell, president of The Midwest Life Insurance Company of Lincoln; A. Lincoln Frost, of this review; and John C. Fremont Frost, now deceased. - The father passed away December 1, 1897, his wife July 17, 1899, and both are interred in Wyuka Cemetery of Lincoln. The father was originally an old line Whig and became one of the first members of the Republican party. Naturally he was a great admirer of John C. Fremont, Charles Sumner and Abraham Lincoln and named his three sons for these distinguished American statesmen. [LINCOLN AND LANCASTER COUNTY, p.263]
