Clarence Forbes was the brother of fellow boxer Harry Forbes. Apparently both brothers had been members of the Mabray gang of swindlers, and in March 1910 they were both sentenced by the federal district court in Council Bluffs, Iowa, to two years in a federal penitentiary for "extensive swindling and fraudulent use of the mails." San Francisco Call [1].

Forbes died at the Illinois State Hospital in Elgin, Illinois, February 13, 1918. He had been at the institution for five months at the time of his death.

"Forbes was regarded as one of the trickiest and hardest punching boxers ever developed in Chicago." - Associated Press, February 16, 1918
