Forbes, aged civil war veteran, passed away at the Old Soldier's home at Hot Springs, South Dakota, on Monday, Oct. 14, 1929, following a brief illness He was born in Ogle county, Illinois, December 26, 1842. being eighty-six years, ten months and nineteen days of age at the time of his death. He enlisted in the Union army of the Civil war at the age of eighteen years, and served in Company B, 26th Illinois Infantry, for a period covering three years. He was married to Miss Jennie Drane, January 26, 1870. To this union were born two daughters and one son. The children of the first marriage are Mrs. J. E. Weaver of Brunswick, Mrs. W. H. Gable. of Colome, South Dakota, and J. Walter Forbes of Brunswick. In 1887 he was married to Miss Theresa Davis. To this union three sons were born, Leonard M. and Russell N., both of Plainview, and Leslie, who passed away at the age of one year. He was numbered among the earliest settlers of antelope county, having homesteaded 160 acres one mile south of what is now Copenhagen in 1880, where they continued to make their home for many years. He is survived by his widow, one sister, Mrs. Jennie Shermer of Plainview, five children, fifteen grandchildren and eleven great grandchildren. All of the living children were present at the funeral services. Owing to his advanced age, and in order that he might have the best of care, he entered the soldier's home at Hot Springs South Dakota, several years ago. He was a well known character in Antelope and Pierce counties, and had the respect of all who knew him. He was kind and charitable to one and all and his going will be mourned by his large circle of friends. The funeral services were held from the Crawford Valley M. E. church on Wednesday afternoon at two o'clock, with the Rev. E. A. Smith in charge, after which the remains were brought to Plainview and interment made in the old cemetery in the east part of town. A squad of fourteen members of the local American Legion acted as military escort and firing squad at the grave. The local Women's Relief Corp was also represented by a delegation of its members.
