The couple celebrated its 58th wedding anniversary this year. The store he launched at Wayside in 1898 throve and three years later a similar business was established at Grimms.

Years before bottle gas stoves were available in rural areas, Mr. Frosch sold coal and wood burning ranges. Not satisfied with this, he introduced oil burning units which could be installed in existing stoves, and a number of years ago took over agency for a gas firm which made it possible for him to sell an appliance he believed would help his rural friends live with more comfort.

Five years later he retired from active participation in all business and devoted his interests to gardening. He was a charter member of the choir of the church at Reedsville.
