DEATH OF MRS. JENNIE FOSTER
A Beloved Christian Mother Gone to Rest
In the death of Mrs. Jennie Foster, wife of the late David Foster of Steep Hollow, who died at the family home Monday morning at 5 o'clock from a severe attack of la grippe, Brazos County loses another of its sweet Christian character, and one whose place in the hearts of her neighbors and acquaintances will never be filled. Her death is mourned by all.
She was born on Oct. 8, 1837, near Knoxville, Tenn. making her 78 years 3 months and 2 days of age at the time of her death. She was formerly Miss Jennie Looney, and was an aunt of Attorney General B. F. Looney of Austin and J. F. Looney of the Eagle Printing Company.
She was married to David L. Foster more than fifty-six years ago and has been a resident of Brazos County about twenty years. During this time she has endeared herself to all with whom she came in contact by a sweet rare charm and earnest friendly manner. She was preceded in the great unknown just six days by her husband, who was laid to rest on last Wednesday at the Steep Hollow graveyard. This fact, connected with the attack of illness, was also given as a cause of her demise. The many friends of the family extend heartfelt sympathy for the children and other loved ones in this doubly sad hour.
She was a member of the Methodist Church, having joined while a young lady and was a constant attendant at all services when physically able and was an ever-ready assistant in any charitable undertaking, whether administering to the sick or giving aid to the poor and needy.
She is survived by five children, two sons, B. F. and R.L. Foster of Steep Hollow, and three daughters, Mrs. O. B. Hopkins of Cottonwood, Mrs. Ella Berry of Celina, Tex. and Mrs. Lucy Wilson of Thorndale.
The funeral was held from the family home at 5:30 o'clock yesterday afternoon and the remains were laid to rest in the Steep Hollow graveyard. Rev. C. T. Tally, pstor of the First Methodist Church of this city, conducted the funeral services.
Quite a large gathering of friends were present to pay their last respectrs to their departed friend, and many beautiful floral offerings were brought to decorate the grave of this beloved mother and Christian woman.
