General Notes: Husband - Henry Porter Forker, Jr.

---

After taking his college pre­paratory work at Kiski School, he attended Washington and Lee University and then went on to Yale University, a member of the class of 1920 of that institution. His college career was interrupted during the first World War by his enlistment in the aviation corps of the United States Army, a service in which he was given non-commissioned rank.
Returning to Sharon, he became associated with the Shenango Machine Works, becoming president of the organization in 1931. The following year he was appointed secretary and treasurer of the Buhl-Kimberly Corporation. Among his other interests may be listed directorates on the boards of the McDowell Bank, the Mercer Tube Company, the First Federal Savings & Loan Bank and the Buhl-Kimberly Corporation. In addi­tion to his public service as secretary and treasurer of the Buhl Farm board of trustees, he gave his time as a director of the Buhl Hospital Board. A Republi­can in politics, and a member of the Episcopal Church of Sharon, he belonged to the Sharon Fishing Club, the Yale Club of Pittsburgh, the Youngstown City Club, the Sharon Athletic Club, Phi Gamma Delta fraternity, the Sharon Lodge, Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks, and the Masonic fraternity, being a member of various bodies of the order, including the Ancient Arabic Order Nobles of the Mystic Shrine.
