For years he had been prominent in the Methodist church of Keeler, and lived in accordance with his religious convictions. Greatly respected for his sterling qualities, Mr. Foster was highly esteemed in his community.
He was married to Miss Lillian M. Buck, September 22, 1881, who with three children survive him. The children are Miss Gladys Lillian, Lucious Dean and Newton B. Foster.

Newton of Muskegon, and three brothers, Morris Foster residing in Minnesota, Riley Foster residing in North Dakota and Dean Foster of Alaska.
Funeral services for him were attended in Keeler yesterday afternoon, the funeral being one of the largest ever held there.
