Julia Marlowe

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. In the early seventies a party of English colonists, most of them farmers, came from the north of England to America, and settled on the farm lands in Kansas. The colony failed, and some of its members went to Kansas City. Among them were John Frost and his wife and three children, the eldest of whom, Sarah Frances, born in the village of Caldbeck, in Cumberlandshire, and then about five years of age, is now known to playgoers as Julia Marlowe. In Kansas City, Frances Frost, as she was then called, had her first schooling, continued later in Cincinnati, where the family moved.
