NATIVE OF FRANKLIN
BUT FOR YEARS A RESIDENT OF OWEN.
Death of Mr. James S. Forsee.
The Owen News of this week contains the following abbouncement of the death of a prominent citizen of that county. The deceased was a brother of Mr. Samuel Forsee of Peak's Mill, and a cousin of Mr. E. L. Samuel, of this city.
:James S. Forsee, one of the wealthiest farmers in the country, and president of the First National Bank, of this place, died at his home one mile north of Owenton, at 1:15 o'clock p. m. last Monday.
:Several months ago he was severely injured by being jerked down by a colt, breaking his thigh bone, from which he never recovered, although he was so much better at times as to be able to be wheeled about the house and yard in a chair. Last Sunday he was suddenly ill and grew rapidly worse until death relieved his suffering.
"James Forsee has long been a prominent man in the affairs of Owen county. By perseverence and indefatigable toil he secured a goodly portion of the world's goods. He was a man of splendid mind and judgement, and as an arbitrator in the affairs of men, which he often was, his decisions were considered just and equitable.
" He was born in Franklin county May 26, 1821, his father being Geo. W. Forsee, who died only a few years ago at the extreme age of 98 years. He was first united in marriage to Louisa A. Beadle, in 1844, who died April 14, 1847. To this union there was born one child, Louisa A., who died August 19, 1853.
"On June 18, 1850, he took for a second wife Virginia D. Threlkeld, who survives him. To them were born Mrs. E. E. Lee and Mrs. W. D. Beek, Elijah T. and C. W. Forsee, all of whom survive him.
"Mr. Forsee was a strict believer in the doctrines of the Baptist Church, having united with the Long Ridge Baptist Church in the year 1837, since which time he has always been prominent in that denomination.
"The funeral services were held yesterday at the Baptist Church, this place, after which his remains were laid away in the Odd Fellows cemetery."
