He was sixty-five years of age and unmarried. The son of the late Mr. John T. Forman and grandson of the founder of The Nottingham Guardian, Mr. Bailey Forman was educated at Harrow and Oxford. On leaving Oxford, he entered the business of Thomas Forman and Sons, then newspaper proprietors as well as general printers, on the editorial side; and, when the business was divided, became sole proprietor of the newspapers. At the time of his death, he was one of the last two remaining private owners of morning and evening newspapers in England. Mr. Forman tools little part in public life, but he gave generously to a wide range of charitable movements, and he found relaxation in many forms of sport, particularly shooting and fishing. He served for many years on the committee of the Nottinghamshire County Cricket Club.'
