SAMUEL HARDIN FORSYTHE OBITUARY
CLARK COUNTY HERALD
3-JULY-1902

Samuel Hardin Forsythe was born in Clark County, February 1, 1834 and died July 18, 1902. He was first married in 1857 to Susannah Sweet. Five children were the result of this union. All of who are living: Mrs. Laura White, Mrs. Rush Adams, A.P. Forsythe, A.A. Forsythe and William Forsythe. He was afterward married to Mary A. Doll who survives him.

Mr. Forsythe crossed the plains in 1850 driving an ox team as far as Salt Lake City, Utah and walking from there to California. He returned by vessel, coming around the Horn during the cholera siege and was quarantined a long time at Staten Island.

He was buried in the Forsythe Cemetery.
