General Notes: Husband - Alexander Davis Foster

---

He was a glassblower by trade, following this calling many years in Pittsburgh in the McCullough factory in which he held the rank of foreman a long time. Upon the outbreak of the Civil War he enlisted in Company I, Sixty-third Regiment Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry, for three years or during the war, and participated in the following engagements: Yorktown, Williamsport, Fair Oaks, Frazier's Farm, Malvern Hill, second battle of Bull Run, Chantilly, Fredericksburg, Chancellorsville, Gettysburg, Wilderness, Spottsylvania Court House, North Ann River, Petersburg. Mr. Foster was wounded at Petersburg, June 18, 1864, his head being struck by a minie ball, and he was carried off the field and transported to Washington, and discharged, September 9, 1864. After the war he went west and entered the employ of Thomas Frazier, of Ohio, being engaged in freighting with ox teams between the Missouri river and Denver, Colorado. Upon his last trip he sold the oxen, and then spent some time mining in the gold region of Montana. Upon his return to the east he married, followed his trade of glass blowing for a time, and then engaged in the mercantile business until his death.
