Notes: At the time of the April 19, 1930 census, Forrest was 4 years and 4 months old and living with his parents and six siblings in their own home valued at $1,500
  ($15,000 in 2001 dollars) in Foley Village, MN. The family owned a radio. His father was working as a mechanic in a garage.
 
At the time of the Apr. 27, 1940 U.S. Federal census, Forrest was 14 years old and living with his parents and eight siblings ranging in age from 18 to 5 years in a house rented for $16/month in Buffalo, Wright, Minnesota. His father had completed his education through his junior year of high school, and his mother had completed three years of college. He and all his siblings were attending school with the exception of Junior and his youngest sibling, five-year-old brother Gilbert. Junior had never attended school. In April 1935 the family had been living in a rented house in Benton County, Minnesota. His father was employed as an auto mechanic in a garage; he had worked 26 weeks and was unemployed for 7 weeks in 1939, earning $750 that year.
 
Forrest was the fifth son and followed in the shadows of his two older brothers, Spencer and Armin. He was nicknamed "Frosty." He had a sense of humor that was at the apex of a family of fun lovers. Whenever he was around, laughter abounded. He had a "live and let live" attitude. If ever there was anyone with "not an enemy in the world," it was Frosty. He was devoted to his family, loved sports, and was always ready for a party.
