Ferndale Enterprise (Ferndale, California) 4 May 1878, Saturday - page 3.
We learn, through Mr. G. A. Frost, that his younger brother, stepson of John Fox, of False Ridge, this county fell into a heater of hot water last week and was badly scalded. He was sitting on the side of the heater and in some way slipped and fell backward into the water.

Dear Sir, - In my recent mail a copy of your valuable paper turned up. A few lines from my brother, Geo. A. Frost, were in the Hansport news. George preceded me a few years to California. I think he casein 1876, by rail.
I came in 1880 before the mast in the good ship Tam O'Shanter, Capt. Soule from Bath in command. We were one hundred and thirty seven days on the trip from New York to San Francisco. Then I shipped in my first steam-boat, the Humboldt, for Eureka. Fifty dollars per month looked better to me than paying fifteen dollars for a 24 hours ride over the Pacific ocean. From Eureka to Ferndale by stage, 20 miles, took half a day then; now one hour easy in a machine. From Ferndale to Bear River, rather Cape Mendocino Ridge, where father, J. H. Fox, my precious mother, brother George, Sarah, Maggie, Eva, my three sisters, were overjoyed to meet their sailor brother. When they all left Hantsport there was one more, a dear little brother, John Burdett Fox, who died a year before I arrived, scalded by an accidental push while playing with a milker. Poor child…
