    CHARLES P. FORREST, of Orient, South Dakota, was born in Smithfield,

Pennsylvania, and was one of seven brothers. At a family reunion held at the

home of L. W. Forrest, of East Smithfield, these seven brothers, the sons of

Dana Forrest, who was a native of the state of Vermont, with the father and

mother, were all present. Charles P. Forrest, of Orient, Faulk county was one of

the number. These seven brothers all served in the Union army through the civil

war, and strange to say, neither wounds nor death overtook them in that long and

bloody struggle.



    The subject of this sketch is the fourth son of this remarkable family who

gathered from their homes in the east, the extreme north-west and the middle

west, to greet father and mother and each other with a real home greeting,

forty-two years after the close of that terrible war. Mr. Forrest is one of our

Faulk county pioneers that has succeeded in accumulating property and in helping

to build up the prosperous and enterprising village of Orient. An illustration

of his hotel and stable may be seen in this history
