William Delape purchased Lot 22 in 1796 and probably built the frame house used by Louise Le Chartier, who owned the lot in 1799.  Mlle. Le Chartier was born in Normady, France and perhaps came to America with the group accompanying Baron Pierre du Teboeuf, who was in Russell County, Virginia in 1792.  Her will mentions several people who were known to have been in his party.

Mlle. Le Chartier operated a store here until her death in 1803.  The inventory of her store goods would indicate that, although this was still considered the frontier, it was not necessary for everyone to wear homespun clothing and eat from wood trenchers.  For those who could afford store-bought goods, her stock included something for everyone.  For the ladies there were only a few finished clothing items such as cotton stockings, shawls, gloves and half-handed gloves, fans and Black Morocco shoes.  Most Clothing still had to be made at home or by a local seamstress, Indigo and turkey red dyes were available to dye homespun products.  Also stocked were 8, 000 needles, as well as shears, thimbles and knitting pins.

Of interest to the men would have been the 3 silver watches and watch chains, cigars and pipes, snuff boxes and pocket knives, as well as sickles, scythes, saddles and saddle bags.  For children there were Dilworth’s and Webster’s spelling books, 10 school bibles, slates and pencils, 2 whistles, 211 marbels, 1 dozen jew harps and some Liqurace balls.  Their grandparents might have purchased from the 3 pair of spectacles, 300 fish hooks or the camphor.

For the home there was London pewter, Queensware china, mirrors, and one hair trunk.  Mlle. Le Chartier also carried food and condiments not raised on local farms, such as brown, loaf and homemade sugar, allspice, ginger, cinnamon and nutmeg, and barrels of rice and almonds and 56 gallons of cider.

Peter Henritze acquired the lot in 1809, which was later owned by his daughter, Eliza Ruley.  When she moved to Knoxville, Tennessee, the house was sold to George Mantz, a shoemaker.  Mantz moved to Missouri and the later owners were Daniel and W. Scott Thompson.

George W. Keller built the present brick residence in 1925.  It was purchased in 1939 by J. Paul Campbell & Sons Funeral Directors, the house was expanded through the years and is now the Frost Funeral Home.  In 1918 Thomas Walter Campbell founded the Campbell firm and operated from the basement of the Dagmar Hotel.  In 1923 J. Paul Campbell and J.W. Huff purchased the undertaking department of Sterchi Brothers Undertaking and Furniture Company, and operated businesses in both Bristol and Abingdon.  The Campbell firm moved to the George G. Keller residence in 1937.  The present day chapel was added on the east side of the property about 1942 during World War II. 

Upon the death of J. Paul Campbell in 1958, his son Sam W. Campbell began managing the firm and brought many new ideas to the funeral profession and with the transition from funerals and wakes being held at home he saw a need for a renovation that took place in the 1960’s adding a larger visitation room to the west side of the property. It was also at this time that the Campbell family ceased operating an ambulance service and turned their attention more to the serving of families.  It was also during this time that Jack Frost, who is the present owner of the Frost Funeral Home began his career in funeral service with the Campbell family. The firm was operated by Sam W. Campbell until his death in 1992, at which time his son Sammy L. Campbell continued operating the funeral home. 

It was in 2005 that Jack Frost along with his wife, Robin felt a calling to serve the families of their native area by owning a funeral home.  On March 1, 2005 they purchased the Campbell Funeral Home and changed the name to the Frost Funeral Home.   It has been since that time that the Frost family and staff with a combined experience of over 100 years have been serving families with
