Rose EDITH Taylor Forbes, the daughter of Robert and Clara Taylor, was born in Homestead, Blaine County, Oklahoma in 1905.
The family moved to the Oklahoma Panhandle before 1919 where she fell for that handsome feller just returned from the war, Willis Forbes.
The couple married in Perryton, Texas, and worked various places around this area, such as Masterson, Texas, then in Oklahoma at Easterwood Community, and Kenton, Oklahoma, and Northwest Flats, lived in the Guymon area for some time and then moved to Las Animas, Colorado. Their children were Robert, Lavon, Lola Mae, Charles Edward, who died young, Dean, and the twins Jay and Joy. Later in life, they took in Joy's four children to raise. Their second family was Dusty, Twins Loy and Joy, and Bobby.
Edith sewed for her family, made quilts, did tatting and crochet, and loved singing hymns. She spoke in the third person, always carefully speaking, and might say, "I've always thought that One should do the best One can with what One has." Those who sat at her elbow understand the ladylike mannerisms I write about.
She encouraged her children and grandchildren to love the Lord, to go to church, to read, and had a great sense of humor and a ready laugh.
Known as Gram, she is missed by a crowd of folks. (by Carolyn Grice Blackwelder)
