General Notes: Husband - Robert R. Forrest

---

He came to Washington, Pennsylvania, with his parents, and attended the common schools of the place until he arrived at the age of sixteen years, when he entered Hayes' Carriage Factory as an apprentice, remaining until the breaking out of the Civil war. He then proceeded to Wheeling, West Virginia, where he was employed in government work, chiefly in the constructing of ambulances, and he ironed the last twenty-five of that class of vehicle sent to the seat of war from Wheeling. In 1867 he entered into partnership with James House, in the carriage-making business, in Washington, Washington County, Pennsylvania, putting up for the purpose the building later occupied by R. B. McClure & Son on East Wheeling street. The style of the firm was House & Forrest, but about a year after commencing operations, Mr. Forrest sold out his interest to Mr. House and embarked in the brickmaking business in South Strabane township. The first brick made on his place were used in the construction of the jail, and he subsequently supplied the brick for many prominent buildings, such as banks, seminaries, churches and private residences. He was also for a time engaged in contracting and building, in company with his brother, Richard R. In 1889 he commenced the erection of his own commodious house on the corner of Sumner avenue and Pitt street, one of the finest residences in the northern part of the city, and in November, 1890, moved into it. He and his family were members of the Second Presbyterian Church; politically he voted the Democratic ticket, and was frequently been solicited to accept office, but invariably declined the honor.
He and his wife had six children, only two were still living in 1893.
