Narrative

Despite Forst and his wife Emma bearing the same surname, they do not appear to be closely related, and may not have been related in any detectable fashion at all. Emma's father was Porter Andrew Ostrander, born in New York in 1876; Forst's father was Clarence, born in Ohio, also in 1876. Clarence's father was Alonzo, born in Ohio about 1853. While I haven't found the identity of Porter's father, I'll point out that Porter had a brother also named Clarence, who was about seven years younger than he was, and I find it unlikely that there would have been two brothers in the same family by that name.

If Forst and Emma were related at all, it was almost certain that they were no closer than second cousins, and most likely the separation was greater than that.

Narrative

I've not found records for Forst and his family to indicate that he had any children other than his daughter Emma Mae. The last residence I can find for the family is the 1930 US Census, and Forst, his wife Emma E., and his daughter Emma Mae are all buried in the same cemetery. Emma Mae is buried with the surname Ostrander, suggesting to me that she never married.
