Biographical History
Mary Agnes Gray Forman came to the Los Angeles area as a child in 1851 from Covington, Kentucky, via El Paso. Her father was killed by Indians during the journey from Texas to California; her mother, Charlotte, married John Rowland in 1852. In 1862, Mary Agnes Gray married Charles Forman (1835-1919), a California and Nevada pioneer. The Formans began their married life in Virginia City, Nevada, but in 1887 they relocated to Los Angeles, literally bringing their house along with them. The Forman house became one of the most prominent centers of social life in the city. Mary Forman was a highly active member of local social and other groups, including a social and historical society of former Los Angeles schoolchildren, the Auld Lang Syne Club, which was formed for the purpose of verifying the members' memories of early Los Angeles through the membership and through historical inquiry. She was instrumental in reactivating the club in the first decade of the 20th century.
