"Mrs. Belle Forest [sic], wife of Mr. U. J. Forrest of Coral Hill, died Saturday morning, at sixty odd years of age, as the result of a fall, which she suffered a few weeks ago.

"She is survived by her husband and one daughter, Miss Anna Merle Forrest, Commercial teacher in the Glasgow High School. Before her marriage she was Miss Belle Johnson, and is survived by one brother and two sisters: Mr. Geo W. Johnson of Glasgow, Mrs. George Maggard of near Kino, Miss Ellen Johnson of the Matthews Mill section.

"Mrs. Forrest was a devout member of the Church of Christ and was a lady of the highest character, loved by all who knew her.

"Funeral services were held Sunday in the church at Coral Hill, conducted by Elder E. G. Creacy of Horse Cave, and burial was in the Johnson burying ground near the home."
