Sheriff John Frost was shot and killed while attempting to serve sequestration papers on a prominent citizen who managed a hunting preserve called Lake Surprise. When the sheriff failed to return a search was conducted and his body was found in the lake with a gunshot wound.
The man he had the warrant for and three other men were arrested and charged with his murder, but the case was dismissed in 1902.
Sheriff Frost had been sheriff for four years and is buried in Wallisville Cemetery in Wallisville, Chambers County, Texas.
