General Notes: Husband - Charles Forbes

---

He was born in Herkimer County, New York, and received his education in the public schools. In 1852 he removed to Conneaut township, Crawford County, Pennsylvania, where he purchased a farm and at the time of his death was the owner of one hundred and twenty acres, afterward in the hands of his son. When Mr. Forbes bought the estate it consisted of woodland, the dwelling being a log house. In the course of time he erected frame buildings and barns and by his advanced methods brought the land into a high state of cultivation. For some time prior to his death he was a dealer in landed property. In 1886 he moved to Linesville, Pennsylvania, and there passed the remainder of his life. In 1863, at the time of the invasion of Pennsylvania, Mr. Forbes enlisted in the Home Guards and was ordered to Harrisburg. He was always a public-spirited citizen, affiliating with the Republicans. He was a member of the United Presbyterian church.
