Following her marriage, Mrs. Forster moved to Boston. Until her death she had many recollections of the old American port in the days of horse-drawn trolleys, ad of the visit of Charles Dickens. Two years later she returned to Canada where she lived for a short time before going back to the United States to New Jersey. Mrs. Forster lived there for sometime before again returning to Canada where she resided in several Ontario centres before coming west to the Rainy Creek district near Sylvan Lake in 1900. It was in 1903 that she and her husband were instrumental in aiding in the establishment of the Methodist church at Rainy Creek. Following the death of her husband, Mrs. Forster returned to the East where she lived until coming to Calgary to live with her daughter in 1935. CHURCH MEMBER Mrs. Forster was a member of Scarboro United church. Besides Mrs. Paterson, she is survived by another daughter Mrs. Mazie Haines, Cheltenham, Ont.; two sons, Benjamin J., Georgetown, Ont.; and Edward H. of Killam, Alberta; 22 grandchildren, and seven great grandchildren. She was predeceased by six children, one of whom lost his life in the First Great War, and three grandsons who were killed while serving overseas with the R.C.A.F. during the Second Great War.
