Edward Forsberg (1866-1954) was a cabinetmaker in Tacoma, Washington. He began his trade as a carpenter in 1893, working for various firms in Tacoma including Cornell Brothers. He then transitioned to cabinetmaking at the Lone Star Cabinet Shop from 1908 to 1912, and established his own shop in 1913. For ten years it existed at various addresses in downtown Tacoma, and in 1923 he built E. Forsberg Cabinet Work and Show Cases at 2907 Sixth Avenue and continued there until he retired in 1940 (1).

Born in Sweden, he emigrated in 1887 and in 1892 married Anna Johnson (1863-1955), also a Swedish immigrant. They had three daughters (2, 3, 4). Agnes (1894-1984) married Norman Simpson in 1923 (5,6). Edith [also Edythe] (1896-1948) married Emmet Cooper in 1935 (7, 8). Mildred (1901-1972) graduated from Stadium High School in 1920 and the College of Puget Sound. She taught high school in Puyallup for many years before marrying David Thomasson in 1934 (9, 10). The married daughters settled in California and were followed by their parents (2,8).
