From "History of Yuba & Sutter Counties" p. 922-925, Pub 1924, extract from biography of his son, Edward H. Forderhase:
W. H. Forderhase, his father, was also born in Missouri, whereas his good wife, who was Louise Whisbrock before her marriage, was a native of Germany, and was brought to the United States and to Missouri by her parents when she was four years of age. Mr. Forderhase was a farmer, and in 1888 he came to California with his family and settled in Sutter County.
Eight children were granted this worthy couple. Emma is Mrs. Grant Davis, of Sutter County; George lives at Sutter; the third-born is the subject of our review; Florence E., is at Napa; Otto lives in Pennington; William is at Sutter; Cornelia is Mrs. Charles Summy of Sutter; and Frank, the youngest, is at Redding. Mr. Forderhase settled at Sutter City in the year it was founded. He bought a couple of dwellings and about ten city lots; and there he retired, to live until 1922, when he breathed his last.
