Martha Grix Frost
Norfolk attracts bone-chilling winds
So cold that no matter the cost
Men sold their soul for anthracite coal
Or a glimpse of Martha Grix Frost
Henry Fuller lived to sell coal
Though it never warmed up his heart
But once he saw Martha Grix Frost
His heart pumped hot blood by the quart!
48-years the heat was on
And 23-children were born
The love that they shared among them
Eased the pain of those deaths they mourn.
Henry died at age 69
An old Norfolk hero was lost
The tombstone bears his final words,
"Henry Fuller melted the Frost".
