(. I.F. Forrest)



"At his home in this place (unable to read next line) .and lingering
illness of Bright's disease, Dr. I.F. Forrest, one of the best known and
well read physicians in Monroe county. The deceased fully realized his
conditions and met death fearlessly as anyone who was ever called to try
the realities of the unknown world. He had his lot in the cemetery
selected a week before his death, he wanted to know as he expressed it,
"Just where I am to be laid." Dr. Forrest was born in Baron (Barren)
county, Kentucky, February 12th 1846, died September 22nd, 1901, aged 55
years, 7 months and 10 days. His father moved to Missouri when he was
twelve years of age. He lived at the old home place in Audrain county
until he was married to Miss Josie McNutt in 1869 when he moved to
Middle Grove to read medicine. He resided in Middle Grove until 1884
when he moved to Paris and from there to Madison where he practiced his
profession until his health gave way. His suffering during the past
year no pen can describe. He displayed a fortitude that is rarely seen
until death came as a welcome release. He leaves a wife and three
children besides a number of relatives and friends to deplore his loss.
Funeral services were conducted at the Christian church Monday afternoon
by Elder E.M. Richmond after which the remains were laid to rest in the
Madison cemetery."
