• Notes

  "At age 7 yrs., Edward Cyrus Forte II was taken by Zera Patterson & Marie Amelia Bunnell Patterson to raise in Michigan. Zera always recognized ECII as his son. Zera was born in C(anadaigua), N.Y. in 1821 and as a young boy moved to) Lake Mich. Maria Amelia Bunnel was born in Canadaigua, N.Y. on 8/20/1825. She died 12/12/1897. She moved to "(Grass) Lake, Mich. They were m. (in) (Grass) Lake Michigan in 18? & moved to Fenton in 1872 where they lived 12 years after which they moved to Detroit in 1884. Three years after Maria's death Zera married Miss Minnie French." (F-320: Info. from Libby Swenson, great, great granddaughter of Jarius and Martha Lincoln Bunnell, and granddaughter of this Edward Cyrus Forte.) Edward C. Forte was married in Fenton, Michigan on Dec. 2, 1974. He was a dry goods merchant for many years before becoming a Vice-President and then President of a Commercial Savings Bank in Fenton. After his retirement, he and his wife would spend their winters in Fenton and their summers in Glendale, California. His wife died in Glendale in 1930. He died Thursday at 2 p.m. June 11, 1942 at age 90. (His obit. says he was 91, but this appears to have been in error. It also gave his marriage date as one year earlier than all other sources) His obituary is copied in F-314d. It is his daughter, Mrs. Corrigan, that gleaned and kept much family history from her father and passed it down to her daughter, Libby Swenson. He and wife had one daughter only. Libby is who I received these xeroxed copies from. In her mother's family pedigree is states that Edward Cyrus died June 10, 1942 instead of June 11, 1942. (F-317)
