HAROLD FORSBERG BURIED
Services to be Held by the Washington Lodge of Elks
Harold S. Forsberg died in New York suddenly on Wednesday. He was a brother of the artist Gustav W. Forsberg of this city. Harold Forsberg had been on the stage 25 years, and won success as the blackleg French nobleman in the "Pavements of Paris" and as the Old Campaigner in Bartley Campbell's spectacular play of "Clio". His last appearance in this vicinity was in April as Colonel Clay Calhoun in the "Beacon Lights". He was a good Shaksperean [sic] actor, and at different times supported all the prominent tragedians. He married a daughter of Mr. Temper, the owner of the opera-house in Albany, NY. His wife survives him and now resides in Washington. He was a Swede by birth, and 44 years of age. To the older theatre-goers he will best be remembered for his cleverness in the part of Robert Macaire.
The remains arrived here last night and were received by a committee from Washington Lodge of Elks, of which order he was a member and taken to the family residence, 218 Thirteenth street southwest, from where the funeral will take place this afternoon and the body carried to Rock Creek for interment. The members of Washington Lodge and visiting brothers met at the lodge room at 3 o'clock for the purpose of attending the funeral. The burial ritual of the order will be conducted by the officers of the lodge.
