Obituary for John Franklin Frost

John Franklin Frost, age 77, a resident of Elkins, departed this life Friday morning (Aug. 8, 2008) after a long struggle with Alzheimer's disease. He died peacefully at home surrounded by his wife and children.

John was born in Meadville, Pa. on Jan. 20, 1931, the only son of the late Franklin Foster Frost and Gladys Gordon Frost. On June 6, 1954, he was married to the former LaDonna Maxine Jenkins, who survives. The couple celebrated 54 years together as husband and wife.
Also surviving are four children, Beth Adkins and husband Scott of Rock Hill, S.C., Catherine Bogarad and husband Barry of Cornelius, N.C., Frank Frost of Phoenix, Ariz. and Thomas Frost of Charleston; and three grandchildren, Josh Anacker, Elizabeth Frost and Matthew Adkins.

"Jack" was a graduate of East Fairmont High School. He earned a journalism degree from Fairmont State College and then went to the School of Physical Therapy at the Cleveland Clinic and graduated with a master's degree in education from Case Western Reserve. Upon graduation Mr. Frost served in the US Army, assigned to the physical therapy clinic. He worked as a physical therapist in Cleveland and continued at Davis Memorial Hospital in Elkins from 1960 -1965.

Being an avid sports fan, John worked part-time at the Elkins Inter-Mountain from 1962-2002 as sports editor. For over 40 years, he attended local football, basketball and baseball games, took photos, wrote articles, and laid out the sports page. In 1966, Mr. Frost started a career at Davis and Elkins College in Elkins. From 1966-1987 he served as director of public relations, then went on to become director of development, where he worked with fundraising, planned giving and capital campaigns. In 1988, John moved on to become vice-president of development at Salem-Teikyo College in Salem. From 1993-1994, he was director of development for the Salvation Army in Charleston. Also during John's varied career he had the opportunity to interview astronaut Neil Armstrong and TV star Art Linkletter.

John was a long-time member of the First United Methodist Church in Elkins where he regularly attended and served on various church committees. He was vice-president of the Kiwanis Club of Elkins at one time, former member of the board of directors of the Randolph County United Way, member of the West Virginia Sports Writers Association, the Davis and Elkins College Booster Club, and a former Rotarian. Mr. Frost organized the original amateur photography competition contest of the Mountain State Forest Festival and was also a former participant in the Randolph County Sports Hall of Fame. He also worked on the Frank and Eleanor Wimer Memorial Fund Drive, the Randolph County Scholarship Fund at Davis and Elkins College, was one-time secretary of the Elkins Little League and a supporter and fundraiser for the Elkins Bands in the 1970's. For 13 years, John and his wife were weekly volunteers at the local Salvation Army.

In 1999, Davis and Elkins College selected John as the Volunteer of the Year. This was awarded to a non-alumnus for unusual and distinguished volunteer service to the college and the community. These services included assisting with fundraising initiatives, volunteering his talents as a photographer for athletic and other special events and contributing sports-related information for publication in the "Forward," the magazine for alumni and friends of the college. He also provided counsel and information to the development staff and shared his ideas and experience in college administration.

Jack enjoyed several hobbies. He was an avid photographer, traveling on backwood trails and country roads to get the perfect scenic short. He also loved the WVU Mountaineers and for years went to all the home football games.

Friends may call from 5-8 p.m. Monday at the Tomblyn Funeral Home in Elkins. On Tuesday, Mr. Frost will be moved to the First United Methodist Church of Elkins where friends may call from 10-11 a.m., the funeral hour. The Rev. Dr. Ellis E. Conley will officiate and entombment will follow in the Mountain State Memorial Gardens Mausoleum.

  1912 - 1920 - Marries John Mackie Griffith somewhere other than WV.  I searched the marriage records in WV and did not find an earlier marriage to John M Griffith, other than the 1945 marriage.

The only thing I can think of, is this couple had a love hate relationship.  They separated, then got back together again over and over again in a 20+ year period.  In every census, Elsie is living in the home of someone else.
