Wilford Sadler, 24 Jan 1865, ONT) **** James W. Foster, farmer and stock raiser, was born on the Talbot Street farm Sept. 23, 1832, son of Ralph and Ann (Wilthew) Foster. His boyhood days were spent on the farm, and he attended the little log school, where the teacher was paid for by subscription; still later it became a free school. Working hard from early boyhood, he remained on the homestead with his parents until his father retired from farming, when he rented the place, operating it until his father died, when it was divided between himself and his brother George, James W. taking the part on which the old log house stood. Here he has been ever since engaged in practical farming and stock raising, and he is still active, though now over seventy years old. He put up a fine brick dwelling house, and made other improvements on the farm. Mr. Foster has always been a stanch Conservative, and an admirer of the late lamented John A. Macdonald. Religiously he is a member of the Presbyterian Church of Leamington, and socially he holds membership in the A. F. & A. M. lodge at Kingsville, to which he has belonged for over fifty years; he is a member of the A. 0. U. W., at Leamington. He was a member of the cavalry under Capt. Theodore Wigle, and served five years, he is a man of domestic tastes, and his habits are temperate and exemplary. In 1859 Mr. Foster married, in Mersea township, County of Essex, Sarah Jane Derbyshire, daughter of George and Mary Derbyshire, and seven children blessed this union, namely: (1) George Collingwood, a resident of Leamington, married Mary J. Newcomb, and has five children. (2) Mary A. has been housekeeper for her father since her mother’s death, and has proved a most devoted daughter. She is a member of the Methodist Church of Leamington. (3) Eliza Matilda married George W. Jackson, of Leamington, and had four children, two of whom are deceased. (4) Euphemia married Frederick De Laurier, of Leamington, and has three children. (5) Rose E. married Frederick Harrison, a baker of Leamington, and has five children. (6) Clara Annie married Albert Evans, a farmer of Mersea township, and has two children. (7) Louis died in infancy. The mother of these children died Aug. 22, 1877, and was buried in Lake View cemetery. She was a good Christian woman, reared a creditable family, and was much devoted to her husband and children, leaving nothing undone which would add to their comfort and happiness. Indeed, in this respect, the entire family have emulated her example in their devotion to each other’s interests. The Commemorative Biographical Record for the County of Essex, Ontario, by J.H.
