General Notes: Husband - Thomas Forsyth

---

was born April 25, 1825, in Independence township, this county, and attended the subscription schools of the neighborhood during his boyhood, which afforded but meager advantages. At the age of fourteen years he entered the employ of his father in the tailor business, serving an apprenticeship of six years. In 1845 he opened a tailor establishment in Hickory, this county, which he conducted for many years. In 1873 Mr. and Mrs. Forsyth moved to Steubenville, Ohio. While a resident of Steubenville Mr. Forsyth invented Forsyth's system of actual measurement, whereby an impress of the body is transferred to the cloth. In 1876 he came to Canonsburg, Washington County, Pennsylvania, where he conducted an extensive business until 1888. His son, A. M. Forsyth, continued the business at the old stand.
He was an active worker in the ranks of the Republican party, and served as director of the public schools. In religious faith he was a member and elder of the Central Presbyterian Church.
