She had been ill for some time, and but a week ago Monday was moved down there that they might give her better care than was possible, when they were all so far away. Mrs. Forney was known to almost everyone in Cherokee. She married Dr. L.J. Forney in Iowa in 1871, and in 1888, they moved to this city and she has since called this her home. Since the death of her husband, she has at various times gone to spend a time with her children, but she was so taken up with our town that she was about the happiest woman in the world when she returned, and on account of that the children have let her stay here when it would have been much easier for them to have had her in their homes. She was No. 1 subscriber to the Sentinel, as she just couldn't get along without the paper, and we never got out an issue that wasn't good to her. She never missed reading an issue, and always told us of the good things we did, and forgot the poor ones. We shall miss her, as she always stopped when going and coming back from town. She is survived by two sons, Frank in Wyoming, and Joe at Fairland; one daughter, Mrs. Brady Farris of Jefferson City, Mo. They are all friends of the Sentinel family. Funeral services will be held from the church she loved so dearly, the Methodist church in Cherokee, tomorrow afternoon at 4:00 o'clock, the late date being so that all the relatives can be present. Rev. Sam Hedrick will be in charge. Burial will be in the Cherokee cemetery. Obituary next week.
