FROST – Frost, Allen, Lyon, Lincoln, Johnson, Grant, Porter, Alexander #11166: Kentucky Genealogy and Biography, Volume IV, Battle-Perrin-Kniffin, 3rd ed., 1886. Hopkins Co. E. B. FROST, Hopkins County, was born in Montgomery County, Tenn., October 10, 1828. He is a son of Isham and Mary W. (She was an Allen before marriage) Frost, both natives of the same State and county. The father died in 1868 in Madisonville, aged sixty-three. The mother died 1876, aged seventy. The family came to Madisonville in 1840, and here our subject, at the age of fifteen, entered as clerk in the dry goods store of Frost & Lyon, where he remained about four years, after which he, with his father, sold goods about two years; he then worked at the carriage-making and carpenter trade from 1850 until 1863; he was then appointed Assistant United States assessor in the territory embracing the counties of Hopkins, Henderson, Muhlenburgh and Webster; he held this office under the administrations of Lincoln and Johnson (except about six months) and Grant’s till 1873, when the statute expired; he then acted one year as deputy collector. In September, 1874, he was appointed postmaster at Madisonville, which office he has since acceptably filled. In July, 1883, this became a third-class office. Mr. Frost was married in 1851 to Mary H. Porter, of Hopkins County; this union has been blessed with four children of whom only one is now living – Mary A., now wife of James T. Alexander, merchant of Madisonville. Mr. and Mrs. Frost are members of the Cumberland Presbyterian Church.
