Overview
Francis Willoughby Frost
In 1905, Frost accompanied United States Secretary of War William Howard Taft on a diplomatic mission to Asia that resulted in the Taft–Katsura Agreement. Frost left Taft's party after Beijing, China, and continued to travel for nine months before returning home to New Jersey.
Frost married Alice Birney Blackwell Frost (1881-1938) in 1907. The couple had two sons, Francis Willoughby Frost (1909-1992) and George Henry Frost (1914-1969).
