Henry A Frost

   Died at Covington, La. After a long and painful illness on Wednesday, Dec. 
20th 1899, at 1:30, A. M., Henry A Frost, aged twenty one years, six months and 
four days. 

   The Grim Reaper has again been at work and this time he has stricken down one 
of Thibodaux's most promising young men, in the person of Henry A. Frost.  It 
was sad for him to depart this life, just as the goal of manhood had been 
passed, with the prospect of a bright career just about to open.  Providence, 
for its own inscrutable purposes called our young friend hence, and we must bow 
to its will, knowing that it doeth all things well.

   The Sentinel extends its heartfelt sympathies to the stricken household which 
will long gaze upon the vacant chair, and listen in vain for the voice that 
still.  The hope of a reunion beyond the grave with the dear departed must be 
the solace and comfort of the sorrowing ones that now mourn, though "not as 
those without hope".
