    Margaret Elzirah Frost, the youngest child of McCaslin and Penina Smith Frost was born 28 of April, 1830 at Knox Co., Tenn. Her early life was spent much as other Saints, moving about from one place to another, wherever work could be obtained.
    When a small child, she moved to Hancock Co. and from there to Jefferson Co., Iowa, and it was while living in the latter place that her sister Martha McKinferson Co., Iowa, and it was while living in the latter place that her sister Martha McKinney married Harmon Akes in the spring of 1840. A wild turkey came to the door the day before and was shot by the father and used for the wedding feast. The reception was held at night so little Margaret was left home alone, save for a large dog to protect her from prowling Indians.
