The Foster and Alder Cemetery,
located on East Pike, four miles
north of West jefferson has a new
ly erected memorial marker, thr-
ough the interest of Mr.. and Mrs.
George Stephenson of West Jeffer-
son.
This cemetery is one of the old
est in Madison County. 1t was used
as a burial ground as early as
1903.
In 1889, Mr.. and Mrs. Stephen
son, seeing that the cemetery had
been badly neglected, sought the
cooperation of the Jefferson Town
ship trustees, who consented to
keeping it moved. The Stephensons
made it hobby of theirs to clean
up and beautify the historic spot.
EvergreenS were planted and a
fence was built to enclose it; a
stone entrance was erected on
which a memorial marker was
placed (and which has recently
been replaced with a new one); a
well was dug and a driveway
made, also flag pole was erected
in large cement base, in honor of
the soldiers of four wars buried
there, fifteen of whom are Civil
War Veterans.
The Stevensons have been assist
ed with funds from friends and
from those who have relatives
buried in the cemetery, and they
take care of all Improvements.
Mr.. Stephenson's parents ana
grandparents and other relatives
are buried there.
The Foster and Alder Cemetery
has a historical background and
contains many graves of the early
pioneers of the surrounding COM
munity and is especially noted be-
cause of the fact that it contains
the grave and monument of JON
athan Alder, the first white settler
in Madison County. The inscrip-
ton on the original plain slab
marker read, Jonathan Alder,
born September II, 1773. Taken
by Indians, 1881; returned to his
mother, 1905; died January 30,
1S49, aged 76 years"
After the old tombstone wore
away, the children of his descend
ant, Henry Clay Alder, replaced it
with the present tombstone in 1916.
Many of the Alder descendants are
also buried there.

Foster And Alder Cemetery Has
Newly Erected Memorial Marker

The Jonathan Alder cabin, which
he built in 1906, one hundred fifty
years ago, now stands beside the
Alder Chapel, just fifty yards from
the cemetery.
This last week a new memorial
marker was erected by Mr.. and
Mrs. Stephenson, on the Alder
cabin, which states that Jonathan
Alder built the cabin in 1906. The
old marker had become blurred.
EARLY CHURCH
The first religious society to be
organized i'm Jefferson Township
and one of the first in Madison
County was the Foster Chapel
Methodist Episcopal Church, in the
home of Rev. Lewis Foster in 1903.
The meetings were held in the
homes of the members. Then in
March 1925, Rev. Foster decided
two acres to a body of trustees for
the sum of $1,000, for the purpose
of erecting a church building. 1t
was built of logs.
Rev. Lewis Foster was the first
minister. He was the great, great
grandfather of Mrs. f. w. john
son, Heath ST., West Jefferson.
Later a brick church was built
on the same ground. Many years
later it was abandoned.
Nearby, in the year 1860, a
church of Universalist Demonina-
ton was erected at a cost of $1,000
including a bell. The ground on
which it was built was decided by
Thomas Timmons. This church was
reorganized in 1874 and named AL
der Chapel. The Jonathan Alder
descendants attended the church.
1t has been used the last few
years by a Baptist Congregation.

Josephine Marshall. petite
and attractive wife of Repre-
sentative Fred Marshall from
Minnesota's Sixth District,
made this sage observation
when they first came to reside
in the Nations Capital in 1949.
Now, more than seven years
later and as a direct result of
the fascination of Washington,
she finds herself with at least
three full-fledged hobbies-and
several embryo ones.
Perhaps the most enjoyable
of these pastimes for her and
for her family is the assembling
of huge and infinitely complete
scrapbooks. They include one
on her husbands political
career, two on the events of
the Truman administration,
and two on President Eisen-
hower's tenure.
Through the use of clippings,
pictures, tickets, invitations,
place cards. pressed flowers
from corSages or bouquets, and
printed programs, 10 Marshall
has practically a week by
week record of their life in the
Capital.
Additional Information
Not only does she include
brief write-upS of the events
to which they had invitations,
but also any articles or infor-
nation on their many ac-
quaintances and friends, or on
the historic places they have
come to enjoy so much in this

Howe's Recommendations ~
Fire Marshall Howe recon-
mended that the total area of a
prefabricated school building be
between 1000 and 5000 square
feet. The proposed 10-room Viers
Mill addition would contain about
10000 square feet.
The Marshall suggested that all
classrooms be equipped with
doors to the outside and that all
doors be equipped with panic
hardware. National Homes plans
show doors to the outside as OPP
tional in each classroom. n
Mr.. Howe proposed that all tex
posed combustible plywood" par.
titions in the Railways be painted
with "Albl r" fire retardant
paints. The National Homes plans
call for glazed plywood" hallway
partitions.
The Fire Marshall recommend
ed that Class B firedoors be in
stalled between the existing
school building and the corridor
leading to the proposed prefab adj
dltlon, and at the entrance Of each
heater room. The National Homes
plans show a heater room between
each two classrooms. A firedoor
Is provided on the plans but the
classification is not stated. A
Class B firedoor Is supposed to
Withstand flames for an hour and
a half.
Each heater room should be en-.
closed with partitions that can re-
sisit flames for an hour and a
half suggests Mr.. Howe. The re-
sistance time could be reduced to
IS minutes II gas furnaces are
used in place OF oil furnaces. The
plans indicate heater room narti.
tons that are fire resistant for as
minutes. Mr.. Howe also recon-
mends flues that bare the Under
writer's Laboratories approval.
The Fire Marshall also wants
the fire alarms system and the
exit light system extended from
the existing school into the pro-
posed prefab addition.
