Alex Tribune, Alex, Grady Co., OK, Friday, Oct. 30, 1931: "In Memory of Mrs. M. O. Foster - The Lord gave and the Lord hath taken away. On the 22 day of Oct. 1931, the last enemy with whom Gods children have to meet, Death, came into the home of the much beloved and honored m. O. Foster, and took away his loved companion, the faithful mother of their devoted sons and daughters. He did not come unexpected. On the 19th day of April 1926, Amy, our loved sister, while visiting her son, J. W. Foster, suffered a stroke of paralysis from which she never entirely recovered. For a month, even consciousness was not perceptible but with the aid of a trained nurse, she regained cognizance and the power of speech, and slowly with the aid of her faithful husband and affectionate granddaughter who came from Oklahoma City to nurse her grandmother, she was able to move about a few steps at a time, and hopes were great that she would ultimately regain the strength and energy that were formerly hers. But these hopes were with reluctance, dispersed and with sweet meekness and humility she resigned herself to await the inevitable. Then a sweet smile radiated and settled on her features, the smile of benediction, and her spirit passed on with the angels to meet the God she had loved and the Savior she had owned as her redeemer and Lord. Oh Death, where is they sting? This faithful loving wife, this patient devoted mother, this sweet sister and friend, we will see no more here; but we thanks him who doeth all things well, on whose promises we rely, that there'll be a reunion over there and we'll meet Amy. Emma Hoffner affectionately called Amy, for whom we sorrow was born in Illinois, Jan. 12, 1862. When quite a little girl her parents moved to Dallas county, Texas, settling on White Rock Creek near where white rock reservoir now is, but later, to Grapevine Prarie, west of Farmers Branch. On Sept. 16, 1880, she was married to M. O. Foster, after the ceremony they established themselves in their newly acquired home in which the matrimonial bonds were solemnly adopted. Rev. Geo. Good, a Baptist minister, who afterwards baptized her officiating. To them were born 9 sons and five daughters, Mrs. Lizzie Burroughs of Oklahoma City, James M. who fell a victim to the scourge of influenza which swept our country in 1919. Thos. F. Albert, William A., Mrs. Sallie Nolan, Ross, John, Mrs. Carrie Holbrook, Lee and Mrs. Pearl Thomas, all of Alex and Phenie, Dawson and Alfred who died in infancy. There are also thirty-three grandchildren, twenty-eight of which are living, and six great grandchildren. In 1904, Lizzie, the oldest having married they moved with eleven children to Coal county, Oklahoma, where the death angel again made them an unwelcome visit and took the brightest ray of sunshine in their home, their youngest daughter, Phenie. In 1906 they moved to within a few miles of Alex, near or in which they have since resided . On Sept. 16, 1930, they celebrated their golden wedding anniversary with their children and grandchildren but children and grandchildren living present. At 5:30 o'clock on the afternoon of Oct. 22, 1931, the loved and honored, Mrs. M. O. Foster, aged 69 years, 5 months and 10 days departed this life for that land beyond the sunset's radiant glory. Her sis sons and their wives and three daughters and their husbands were constantly with their mother in the last weeks of her suffering and the eldest daughter, Mrs. Lissie Burroughs came from Oklahoma City to be with her mother and endeavor to alleviate her sufferings in her last hours. Mrs. Ellen Brown, a daughter-in-law, and her son-in-law and daughter, Mrs. and Mrs. Wesley Williams and little son Wesley of Sulphur, Okla. and three granddaughters from Oklahoma City, Mrs. Dick Wagner and husband and little daughter, Mrs. John Shultz with her husband and little son and Miss Bertie Pollard were present at the funeral, also a nephew, E. S. Foster of Minco. Funeral services were held at the Missionary Baptist church conducted by Rev. C. A. Smith, a former pastor who spoke words of consolation and a timely warning to all who must some day meet the Just One whom they have accepted or rejected. It is appointed unto men to die once and after death the judgement.

In the Morris cemetery they laid the dear form to rest beneath the sod and covered over with the beautiful floral offerings of loved ones and friends, whom the children and relatives will gratefully remember. Where she will await the time she will be raised in glory to meet him who shall come to gather up his jewels. Oh Grave! Where is thy victory? Her husband, ten children, twenty-eight grandchildren, six great grandchildren, a sister, Mrs. Lovey Raspberry and a brother, Pete Burnett, both of Farmers Branch, Texas, and a sister, Mrs. Crow Foster of Floydada, Texas, survive her. Mrs. R. A. Foster."
