She was a resident of Yuma for many years but moved to Los Angeles quite a while ago. For the past year Mrs. Forrest had been in very bad health and several weeks ago her daughter, Mrs. Jennie Fredley of Yuma, went to Los Angeles as the end was expected at any time. Mrs. Forrest was 84 years old at the time of her death. All the members of her family attended her funeral except Mr. Lewis Fredley of Houston, Texas. Mrs. Forrest leaves to mourn her two daughters, Miss Laura Schaffer of Los Angeles, and Mrs. Jennie Fredley of Yuma, five grandchildren and five great grandchildren.---Sun.
