George Martin Forrer
George
Martin Forrer was born on November 5, 1856 in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, to John
P and Mary Ann (Meck) Forrer.
An exact migration date for the Forrer
family from Pennsylvania to Ohio is not known, however according to the 1870
census George Martin was born in 1856 in the State of Pennsylvania, and his
younger sister Francis was born in 1860 in the State of Ohio. We can reasonably assume the Forrer family moved
to the Wayne County area between 1856 and 1860 prior to the start of the Civil
War.
November 27th 1886 George was married
to Amanda May Webb, the daughter of Joshua and Harriet (Myers) Webb. The Webb and Myers family are both traced
back to the early 1800’s in the Green Township, Wayne County area. The couple raised a large family, a total of
nine children
At the age of 91 years George Martin
Forrer passed away on November 2, 1947 in Sterling, Wayne County. George is buried next to his wife Old Dunkard
Cemetery, Orrville, Ohio.
