FOSTER came to Wright Township, Pottawattamie County, Iowa, in 1880. He was born in Pike County, Ohio, April 8, 1858, a son of Andrew and Martha (HUMPHREYS) FOSTER, both natives of that place. The Fosters are of English ancestry. The six children born to Andrew FOSTER and wife are as follows: Hannah, James B., David, Nancy, Samuel and Jenny. When James B. was fourteen years old, his mother died. She was a member of the Free Will Baptist Church. The father is now seventy yeas of age and still resides in Pike County, Ohio. James B. received a common-school education and was reared in his native county. At the age of twenty-two years, he came west and settled in Iowa. He remained two months in the eastern part of the state, after which he came to Wright Township, Pottawattamie County. For two years, he worked for James BOILER, a relative of his. Then he purchased his present farm of eighty acres, which at that time was wild land. Fifty acres of it, however, had been broken. He selected a natural building site on which he erected a story and a half frame house, and, surrounded as it is with shade trees, it makes a comfortable and attractive home. Mr. FOSTER has also made other improvements in the way of stables, other buildings, and good fences. He was married January 30, 1882, to Miss Agnes WIMPENNY, a native of Racine County, Wisconsin, and a daughter of Joseph WIMPENNY, a native of England. Her mother was born in Edinburg, Scotland. Joseph WIMPENNY, a weaver by trade, was for many years foreman of the mills at Burlington, Wisconsin. Mrs. FOSTER was reared and educated in her native county. She and her husband have three children, viz.: Grace Mabel, Charlie Joseph, and Roy. Mr. FOSTER is in the prime of life, has a good physique, is frank and cordial in his manner, and is respected by all who know him. His political views are in harmony with Democratic principles. Mrs. FOSTER is a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church. SOURCE: "Biographical History of Pottawattamie County, Iowa”, 1891; pg. 657
