Helen C. Frost, Missionary
in Alaska
Helen C. Frost served as missionary to
the Eskimos in Alaska from 1926 to 1961. She served in Teller, Igloo,
Shishmaref and Sitka. A citation presented to her upon the
occasion of her retirement from her thirty-five years of service
summarized her accomplishments:
Through your consecrated service as
nurse, teacher, social welfare worker, youth leader and spiritual
advisor you helped make Christ very real to many people in the various
communities in which you served. You gave of yourself far beyond the
call of duty in loving service to the Eskimo people, giving a
continuous and consistent witness of our Lord and Savior. People from
Igloo, Teller, Teller Mission, Shishmaref, Nome, Sitka and other
places will long revere your name and call you blessed.
