General Notes: Husband - William Forsyth

---

He was engaged in farming all his life. He was also a coal merchant, and was successful in all his business. He and his wife were members of the Presbyterian Church at Brownsville, Pennsylvania, where he held the office of elder. When Little Redstone Presbyterian Church was organized, about 1840, he was chosen a ruling elder there, and continued in that position until his death. He was quiet, unostentatious, and benevolent.
