George F. Frost was born in New Brunswick on April 12, 1844. The family moved to Calais, Maine, in 1847 and then to Crawford, Maine, in 1855. Frost enlisted in the Union army on August 14, 1862, and mustered into Company H of the 6^th Maine Infantry six days later. He took part in most of the major battles of the war’s Eastern Theater, including Antietam, Fredericksburg, Chancellorsville, Gettysburg, and the Wilderness. In August 1864, the army consolidated the 6^th and 7^th Maine Infantry Regiments into the 1^st Maine Veteran Infantry Regiment. He mustered out of the military in June 1865 and returned to Maine.

 

Frost married Eleanor Noddin around 1867, and they had at least eight children: George, born around 1868; Loarin, born around 1872; Mame, born around 1875; Addie, born around 1877; Lulu, born around 1880; Grace, born around 1882; Randall, born around 1884; and Bernard, born around 1887. By 1870, he was working as a farmer in Crawford and owned $200 in real estate and $175 in personal property. He remained in the county for the rest of his life, and he died sometime after 1910.
