Tragedy struck on August 25, 1916, when Mrs. Frost noticed Francis slumped over in his chair while playing a game of Solitaire and would later die of a stroke. His death effectively ended any family involvement in what had become a home-grown company.

Harry Cockshutt then became President of the Frost & Wood Company.
