General Notes: Husband - David Auld Foster

---

He was educated in the public schools and at Iron City Business College, from which he was graduated about 1891. Having accepted a position with the R. E. Stone Furniture Company, in McKeesport, Pennsylvania, he remained with this concern eleven years, then, in 1902, formed a partnership with Victor A. Auld under the firm name of Foster & Auld, and located at Nos. 523-525 Walnut street. They carry a stock valued at $40,000, consisting of furniture, and house furnishings of every description.
Mr. Foster was a director of the Versailles and McKeesport Cemetery Association, being the fourth of his family, and the third in generational number to fill this office. The first to hold it was his grandfather, Samuel D. Foster, who was a member of the first board of directors; at his death his son-in-law, David Auld, was elected to succeed him; the next to fill the office was his son, Alexander D. Foster, who was succeeded by his son, David Auld Foster.
He was Republican in politics, and he and his wife were members of the First Baptist Church. His fraternal associations were as follows: McKeesport Lodge, No. 582, Free and Accepted Masons; Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks; Knights of Malta; Workmen of the World; Youghiogheny Country Club and the McKeesport Cyclers.
