FOSTER, Edmond D.
We regret to announce the death of Mr. Edmond Foster, prominent 
citizen of Oconee, which occurred at his home near Richland on 
Tuesday, August 27, after a long illness. Mr. Foster was in the 74th 
year of his age and was born and reared in Oconee County. He was 
married November 29, 1866 to Miss Mary Sue Brewer. They celebrated 
their golden wedding last December a year ago. His widow and the 
following children survive: J.W. Foster, Manchester, Ala.; E.N. Foster,
Richland; J.S. Foster, Winona, Miss.; E.M. Foster of Greenville, 
Miss.; Mrs. H.P. McKey of Comuiquey, Cuba; and Miss Cornelia Foster 
to whom the sympathy of many friends is extended in their sad hour. 
Two sons, W.C. Foster and C.L. Foster, are dead. Mr. Foster was a 
consistent member of the Rock Springs Methodist Church and always 
manifested keen interest in religious affairs. He was a useful and 
true man and will be sadly missed. Mr. Foster was a gallant 
Confederate veteran. He was a member of Company D 22nd South Carolina 
Regiment. He was at Richmond at the time of the surrender. As a 
memento of the war, Mr. Foster brought back with him from the Virginia 
hills a sourwood walking stick, which he prized very highly. Friends 
and relatives of Mr. and Mrs. Foster and family are requested to 
attend his funeral and interment at Rock Springs M.E. Church Wednesday 
evening, August 28, at six o'clock. Contributed by Sharon Gibson,
