EDWIN R FOSTER
Edwin R Foster, one of the oldest and best known residents in New Suffolk, passed away on Saturday March 4 at the Eastern Long Island Hospital. He suffered from failing health for the past two years.
Mr Foster was born at Southampton on March 1, 1867. He was one of the eight children of the late James R and Sarah L Foster. His parents moved to Peconic when he was very young and much of his life was spent on the North Fork. He worked as an estate gardener for over forty years and was widely known in his field of occupation. In 1912 he moved to New Suffolk and made his home there until his death.
One of his primary interests was the Cutchogue Presbyterian Church. He was a former superintendent of the Sunday School and served as Elder for many years, being a faithful and active participant in the services of the church. His strong religious bent was a heritage from his father who had been an Elder in the Southold Presbyterian Church.
In December 1889 Mr Foster married Irene Horton who died on March 9, 1941.
Mr Foster was a good neighbor to his many friends in New Suffolk, always ready to share his expert knowledge of gardening and to help with any problems concerning growing things. His own garden was his especial pride and he took delight in being the first to harvest the various crops of the season.
Funeral services were conducted on Tuesday March 7 at the Cutchogue Presbyterian Church, Rev James Barr officiating. Mr Foster was a member of Peconic Lodge F & A M and interment with Masonic rites took place in the Cutchogue Cemetery.
He is survived by a daughter Miss Edna Foster of New Suffolk and two sister, Mrs William R Elliot of New Haven, Conn and Mrs George W Whittlesey of New London, Conn.
