Born June 5, 1897, Arkansas.
Died January 7, 1975, Izard County, Arkansas.
Son of Robert Steven & Martha Francis Hammond Forister.
Married Elsie Amanda Drown, January 27, 1924, Izard County, Arkansas.
Note: Even though he was named Marion Emmanuel, and was listed in the 1900 and 1910 census as Marion M. Forister, he apparently used the nickname of Bud as his official name. He is listed in the Social Security Death Index as Bud Forister; therefore, it would appear that he applied for his social security number under the first name of Bud.
