General Notes: Husband - Thomas J. Forker

---

He was educated in the pub-lic schools of Sharon, Pennsylvania, clerked two years, and in 1877 formed a partnership with C. S. Quinby, under the firm name of Forker & Quinby. They began business in the old room previously occupied by Porter & Forker, and have increased their business until they became one of the leading dry goods houses of the town. Politically Mr. Forker was a Democrat, but devoted his attention solely to his business affairs. [HMC 1888, 724]
