She was born in England on October 4, 1849, the daughter of Rev. and Mrs. John Williams. At an early age she came to this country and was married to the late E.A. Forest of Gold Hill, while still a young woman. She moved with her husband to Concord over 35 years ago and has made this her home since that time.

Forest of Salisbury; Miss Grace Forest and S.T. Forest of Concord. She has one brother surviving, Richard Williams of Java, and one sister, Mrs. Smith of Wadesboro.
