Samuel H. Frost
Samuel H. Frost (August 2, 1818 New York City; died c. 1874) was an American politician from New York.
Life[edit]
He was the son of Samuel Frost and Catherine (Bedell) Frost. He attended White Plains Academy. About 1840, he removed to a farm on Staten Island. He married Louisa Ketteltas, and they had several children.
He entered politics as a Whig, and after this party disbanded became a Democrat. He was Supervisor of the Town of Westfield from 1851 to 1856; and was Superintendent of the Poor of Richmond County for twelve years. He was a member of the New York State Senate (1st D.) in 1870 and 1871.
By 1874, an article in The New York Times referred to Frost as already being deceased.[1] In 1877, incarcerated former political boss William M. Tweed named Frost as one of the politicians who had engaged in corruption during his political tenure.[2]
