NORTH SHORE TALKING BRIEF ILLNESS FATAL TO RUTH A. FORBERG Services for Hubbard Woods Girl Prominent in C. of C. Field Held Tuesday The untimely death of Ruth Amelia Forberg, daughter of Mrs. Amelia N. Forberg, 960 Linden avenue, Hubbard Woods, Saturday, July 16, was a sad shock to hundreds of friends and ac- quaintances of the young woman in the north shore villages. Few residents of the community were so universally mourned at their passing as was Miss Forberg. Miss Forberg was taken ill early in the week of July 4. Early last week she fell into a state of coma from which she failed to rally. She was a native of Hubbard Woods, had attend- ed the public schools in the village and also studied at New Trier High school. She gained wide acquaintance here through her association with the business of her father the late Carl A. Forberg, who passed away several years ago. Mr. Forberg conducted an extensive grocery business in Hubbard Woods. Enters Commercial Field About seven years ago Miss Forberg accepted the position of executive sec- retary of the Wilmette Chamber of Commerce, holding that post until her recent fatal illness. The remarkable growth in numbers and influence of that organization was in no small measure attributable to her unfailing devotion to its interests and ceaseless attention to the myriad details attend- ant upon the efficient functioning of its executive offices. Coupled with her duties to the Wilmette Chamber of Commerce, was the service Miss Forberg rendered to the Wilmette Community Chest associ- ation with which she was also asso- ciated in an executive capacity. Business Women's Leader Miss Forberg was one of the organ- izers and a former president of the Club of Business and Professional Women of Wilmette. She was well known among Cham- ber of Commerce leaders throughout the state through her affiliation with the state association of Chamber of Commerce secretaries. Funeral services were held from the North Shore Methodist Episcopal church in Glencoe Tuesday afternoon, July 19, the Rev. Harold C. Case, pas- tor, and Dr. Horace G. Smith, of Wil- mette officiating. Burial was at Me- morial Park. The active pallbearers were mem- bers of the board of directors of the Wilmette Chamber of Commerce. Members of that organization were the honorary pallbearers. Surviving Miss Forberg are her mother, Mrs. Amelia N. Forberg; two sisters, Mrs. Serena F. Jenkins, and Miss Mabel M. Forberg, and a brother, Carl A. Forberg. Mrs. Leonard Cole of Ridge avenue had as her guest this week, Miss Sadie Filkins, formerly of Winnetka, but now a resident of Michigan.
