ANNIVERSARY Oi7'1`7HE KING'S BIRTH One of Barr1e s oldest rsidents passed away on Thursday last in the person of Mrs. , William Foster. who for the past several years has resided with her son, Mr. Charles Foster, on Bradford street. Mrs. Foster was a native of Five Mile Town, 0o.`Fermanagh, Ireland, where she was born on May 26th, 1819. At the age of twenty, -she married her late husband, with whom she lived happily for 51 `years. In 1841, two years after their marriage, the young couple camegto Canada, and spent ve years in Quebec, Montreal and Little York. before coming to Barrie in 1846. For some years "after locating here; Mr. Foster ran a cooper shop on the site where the American Hotel now stands. Barrie was then a hamlet in the woods, but there. are plenty of the older residents who can recall the friendly cooper and his genial wife. as they struggled together to earn a livelihood for themselves and their youngfamily of eleven children. About twelve years ago Mr. and Mrs. Foster joined some of their children at Owen Sound, and it was there Mr. Foster died and was buried. _ Mrs. Foster s body was taken to that town `on Friday and laid by the side, of her compan- ion of over half a century on Saturday. She was a `woman of more than ordinary rene- ment. At the funeral service, which was conducted by Rev. W. Witten and Rev. D. B. Harkness, a number of verses of her own composition were read. `The nine children who survive her are, William, Robert, J os e h, and Margaret, of Owen Sound; Annie, of oronto; James, of Detroit; and John, Charles and Andrew, of Barrie. Mrs. Fos- ter was a consistent member of the the Re- formed Episoopal Church and before her illness was a constant attendant. Her six sons" acted as pall-bearers at Owen Sound. where a funeral sermon was preached by Rev. Mr. Cline. vvsus gvsssuu. uu wsuusug vv luv yull LIIUVV we are thinking aliout yofn;' let ine give you this `short item for your pa 1' ifyou think it worth utting in.
