General Notes: Husband - James Foster
He was reared and educated in Steuben County, New York, and was just about twenty-one years old when he accompanied his father to Venango County. He lived and died on his father's old farm, having bought two hundred acres of the property from his father and spent his active years in its improvement. The first house he erected having been burned, he built the present [1919] residence there. He was one of the most prosperous farmers and business men in his neighborhood, and though he started with practically nothing accumulated a substantial fortune, owning three hundred and fifty acres of land besides other valuable interests. He was thoroughly enterprising, and took pride in doing things well. He was the first to introduce high-bred cattle and sheep into his vicinity, and in many other respects was one of the leading agriculturists of the township, which profited directly and indirectly by his progressive disposition. Though he was practically an invalid for fifteen years before his death, which occurred at the age of sixty-two years, he kept his affairs in hand to the last, but for ten years took no active part in the transaction of his business concerns except to oversee them. [CAB, 864]
He and his wife were the parents of seven children, two sons and five daughters, one son dying when ten years old. All the daughters reached maturity, one dying in young womanhood and the rest marrying, Mrs. T. E. Blair, of Grove City, was the only one still living in 1919.
