EDWARD HENRY FORDERHASE
Prominent among the experienced and successful horticulturists of Northern California to whom may be attributed much of the present-day advancement in the science of cultivating almonds, is Edward Henry Forderhase, of Sutter City, a native of Missouri, where he was born in Warren County, on June 17, 1873.
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.
Edward Henry Forderhase attended the Brittan School, and when twenty-one years of age started out for himself and worked as a ranch hand for wages for years. He bought ten acres of open land, and set the tract out to almonds; and then, in time, he added to his holding a ten-acre orchard. In addition to the foregoing, he has a most attractive home-place of seven acres. He is a Republican, and believes in supporting movements to favor in any legitimate way American agriculture; but he never allows mere partisanship to hinder his endorsement of what he deems best for the locality in which he lives and prospers.
At Sutter City, on October 24, 1906, Mr. Forderhase was married to Miss Emaline Carrie King, a native of San Francisco and the daughter of J. F. and Bertha (Traung) King, substantial farmer folks of Sutter County. Her father came to California a mere lad; and he is still living at the comfortable age of sixty-six, and resides at Sutter. Mrs. King died at the age of fifty-six. Emaline King attended the Marysville and Pennington public schools, in Yuba and Sutter Counties, and there laid the foundation which has been of such value in the education of her two daughters, Evelyn and Melva.
