Foster, for several years the popular pastor of the First Baptist Church of Palatka, died Sunday at his home at Alachua, following a heart attack. The deceased was 68 years of age, and was born at Farmville, Va. He was educated in the Richmond College and later entered the ministry, coming to Florida nearly thirty years ago to become pastor of the Baptist Church of Alachua. After several years there, he came with his family to Palatka to assume the pastorate of the Baptist Church here. He was a popular pastor and a forceful speaker, and under his leadership the local church enjoyed an era of steadily increasing membership and influence in the community. After leaving Palatka, he was financial secretary for the First Baptist Church in St. Petersburg. For the last three years he was pastor of the church at Inverness. He retired from active ministerial work in December and in January moved to Alachua to again make the family home there. Dr. Foster is survived by his wife; two daughters, Mrs. Elizabeth Connell of St. Petersburg, and Mrs. Frazier Stephens of Alachua; four sisters, Mrs. A.T. Anderson of St. Petersburg, Mrs. I.T. Glen of Prospect, Va., Mrs. A.N. Black and Mrs. C.W. Jones of Tazewell, Va. Funeral services were held from the Alachua Baptist Church Tuesday evening, being conducted by the Rev. J.W. Senterfitt of Brooksville, assisted by Rev. J.B. Rogers, of Lemon City, and Rev. W.J. Meade, of Alachua. (Times-Herald Obituary dtd Friday, 31 Mar 1933.)
