Author: Charles Blanchard, Editor (1883)

   ORVILLE FORRER, druggist, is a native of Indiana, and was born in Franklin
County July 8, 1855; he grew to manhood in his native county, enjoying good
opportunities for obtaining an education. At the age of nineteen, he went to the
oil regions of Pennsylvania, and located at Parker's City as telegraph operator.
In 1878, he came to Tipton and engaged in the drug business, and continued
therein for two years, at the end of which he disposed of his business and made
a trip for his health through New York and Canada, when he returned to Tipton
and resumed his former occupation. He was married at Olean, N. Y., January 9,
1881, to Miss Genevieve Porter; they have one child, a daughter, named
Blanchard. Mr. Forrer is an energetic young business man, with a host of friends
and a bright future before him. Politically, he is a Republican, and has
recently become a member of the Masonic fraternity, which he holds in great esteem.
