He served with Company I, 19th Texas Cavalry, in the Civil War. After attending school in Alvarado for four years and reading law for a year and a half, he was sworn in as a lawyer at Corsicana in October 1870. In 1870 or 1871 he was appointed county attorney, but the "scalawag" governor, E. J. Davis, removed him for obstructing reconstruction. He was elected county judge of Navarro County in 1876, the first under the post-Reconstruction state constitution; represented Navarro County in the 16th Texas Legislature in 1879; became district judge in 1886; represented Johnson, Hill, Ellis, and Navarro Counties in the 21st Legislature in 1889 (but resigned before completing his term); and was an attorney for the Cotton Belt and the Houston and Texas Central railroads. His wedding in 1872 was the first in the new Methodist church. The family lived at 1325 West 13th St. in Corsicana. Cross Roads, a western Navarro County town, was renamed Frost in his honor.31,32,33,34

"Funeral services for Roger Frost aged 65 years, who died at the Navarro Clinic Saturday night, were held Monday morning at 11 o'clock from the chapel of the Sutherland - McCammon Funeral Home. Rev E. F. Bohmfalk, pastor of the First Methodist church, conducted the rites. Burial was in Oakwood cemetery.
"Mr. Frost was a native of Corsicana, the son of the late Judge and Mrs. S. R. Frost. For the past several years he had been connected with the Houston Oil Company and made his headquarters at Taft.
"Surviving are four sisters, Mrs. A. N. Justiss, Corsicana; Mrs. George E. Jester, Dallas; Mrs. Max Almond, Corsicana; Mrs. Guy Gibson, Corsicana; a brother, Barry Frost, Corsicana, and other relatives.
"Pallbearers were N. C. Goodman, J. D. Redden, Joe Simkins, Dude Ransom, N. C. Pinkston, J. N Garitty, W. B. Slaughter and Tom Pinkston."15

Scotland's construction sector is expected to grow at "considerably slower" pace that the rest of UK in the next five years, a new report suggests.
Figures compiled by the Construction Industry Training Board (CITB) suggest the construction sector will grow on average by 1.1 per cent a year in the next five years compared with average growth of 2.9 per cent forecast for the rest of the UK.
An expected decline in infrastructure work north of the border from 2016 is cited as the reason Scotland will see "relatively modest" growth compared with the rest of UK, despite infrastructure investment in Scotland historic highs.
The report suggests the pipeline of new work to replace big infrastructure projects like Borders Rail, the new Forth crossing and a number of major motorway improvement projects, are all due to complete during the forecast period, and the number of new schemes in the pipeline are "unlikely to compensate in full for those leaving the pipeline" of work.
The report states: "Scotland is projected to see annual average output growth of 1.1 per cent over the 2015 to 2019 period, considerably lower than the UK rate of 2.9 per cent.
"Average growth rates for new work and repair and maintenance are expected to be similar, at one per cent and 1.2 per cent respectively.
"This output growth rate is only just strong enough to generate marginal employment growth, of 0.1 per cent on average per year, again well below the UK average of 1.5 per cent."
CITB Scotland estimates the construction sector will need to attract 5,700 new workers in the next five years to meet expected demand, with private housing expected to lead overall sector growth, averaging 5.4 per cent over the five years.
It said 1,434 new apprentices had started working in the industry in 2014.
Ed Monaghan, chairman of CITB Scotland's advisory committee and chief executive of property developers Mactaggart & Mickel Group, said: "The overall market sentiment is that construction generally has turned the corner, with many businesses reporting improved order books and housebuilders enjoying a more active market.
