Rodena Cokonougher Frost family Photo 1890s

     This photo is that of Rodena Cokonougher Frost with her husband Andrew Frost and her children.  the photo was probably taken in the 1890s, based on the age of the daughter in the picture.  Only one daughter is shown in the picture, but Rodena and Andy had at least two daughters:  Gracie, born in 1878, and Eva, born in 1879.  The family lived in Adams County, Ohio.
     Rodena was born 31 January 1858 to Adtson Ellsworth Cokonougher and Elizabeth Shoemaker Cokonougher.  She was also the sister of Zackariah and John E. Cokonougher.  Andrew was born in 1855 as the son of John and Mary Frost. 
     This photo was the property of my grandparents John H. and Amelia Cokonougher, and passed to me when they died in 1963.  Rodena was my grandfather's aunt.

     There is a record of one Andrew Frost being elected to and having served in the Ohio Legislature.  I don't know if this was the same Andrew Frost. 
     My grandfather John, who lived in Ross County, Ohio, used to tell of taking horse and wagon rides with his parents and other family members from Ross County all the way to Adams County, Ohio to visit with the Frosts and other relatives in Adams County.  He said the trip would take all day to get there, so they would stay overnight, and then return on a following day.  They always stopped for a picnic lunch halfway there.
