Comment	The newspaper article does not specifically state that these clubs are from Nashville. But their presence in a Nashville paper, and the lack of a geographical qualifier heavily imply it. The "Forest" and "Forrest" are likely two spellings for the same club. Perhaps the name alludes to the Confederate general Nathan Bedford Forrest. Edit with form to add a comment
