OBITUARY
After an illness of much suffering
for more than year, Louis +. Foster
underwent a surgical operation, per-
formed at his home, Tuesday, Oct. 29
which proved unsuccessful, and the
community was shocked to learn that
he had passed away at an early hour
Wednesday morning. OF his imme-
date family, he leaves a devoted wife
who has been his constant attendant
night and day, during his long Illness
doing all affection could suggest to
alleviate his condition, and on whom
the blow falls heavily. Two brothers
Daniel and Charles, also Mrs. Myra
wife of F. B. Foster. Jr., who had lived
with them many years, until her mar
riage, and was regarded as daughter,
and who mourns as for kind and
indulgent parent.
There are also many distant rela-
tives who deeply deplore their loss
while they feel to be his infinite gain
For his death the community loses a
respected citizen, kind neighbor and
genuine friend. Funeral services were
held Friday, at his late home, where
the fraternity of F. & A. M, met in a
body, performing the usual burial ser
vices. Rev G. w. Hinckley was the
officiating clergyman. The floral Of
ferings were many and beautiful. In

to see one of the clerks wrapping up
