Mrs. E.G. Foster, Leader in Club Circles, Is Dead
Woman's Club Building Almost a Memorial to Her Own Efforts
Mrs. Eli G. Foster, long prominent in Topeka and Kansas club affairs, and president of the Topeka Woman's club when it's beautiful clubhouse at Ninth and Topeka was constructed, died Monday morning at her home, 811 West Sixth.
Altho she had not been in the best of health for several years, her last illness was a brief one.
Mrs. Foster probably was the woman who was individually most responsible for the construction of the Woman's club building. Tirelessly she worked for the project, bringing to other members some of her enthusiasm; when ground finally was broken and construction started, many looked on it as a personal triumph for her. She served as president five years, thruout the construction period.
Was Minerva Club Head
She was past president of the Topeka Minerva club. Her Woman's club presidency was from 1922 to 1927.
Mrs. Foster was graduated from the Washburn college department of music after her marriage and birth of her children. She was a member of the First Methodist church. Her two daughters and her son are expected here Tuesday.
Survivors include her husband, formerly a teacher and history-text author, Topeka; the two daughters, Mrs. George H. Broderick, Monroe, Mich., and Mrs. B. Walter Slagle, of Grosse Point, Mich.; and a son, Mitchell Foster, Detroit, Mich.
