Hester Ann Salls was born on 22 June 1831 at Clarenceville, Missisquoi Co, Quebec. She was the daughter of Filer Salls and Nancy Bush. Hester Ann Salls married John Foster, son of John Foster and Mary (?), on 2 January 1850 at Clarenceville, Missisquoi Co, Quebec. Hester Ann Salls died on 15 November 1901 at Skamokawa, Wahkiakum Co, Washington, at age 70; The death of Mrs. H. A. Foster, which occurred last Friday, was a great shock to this little community. She had not been in good health for a number of years, but still able to be about, and for a woman of seventy years, was quite active in social as well as her household work. Last Friday evening in company with Mrs. Geo. O. Bailey, she passed the evening with Mrs. Wm. M. Colwell, and about 9:30 the ladies started for their homes. The weather was quite stormy, and they had not gone far when Mrs. Foster complained of feeling ill, and it required the utmost assistance of Mrs. Bailey to get to C. L. Silverman's residence, where they stopped and rested and the family furnished Mrs. Foster with such restoratives as they had, and after a rest Mrs. Foster seemed very much better and was anxious to continue her walk home.
As they were leaving Mr. Silverman's home Judge McIntyre came along with a lantern and he walked along ahead of the ladies to light the walk with his light. They had not gone half the distance, when Mrs. Foster was taken with a fit of coughing. She asked Judge McIntyre to go for her son Willey who was at home. He did so and the two returned to the ladies as soon as they could. In the interim Mrs. Bailey had assisted Mrs. Foster along the walk until they were nearly to the crossing, so when Willey arrived he picked his mother up and carried her into Mrs. Bailey's house, where she soon died.
It is thought that her death was due to heart trouble. The funeral took place Tuesday morning from her residence and was under the charge of Ladies of the Maccabees, of which organization Mrs. Foster was an honored charter member, she having been chaplain of Skamokawa Hive ever since its organization.
The funeral was attended by a great many people. Rev. McWatters made some very appropriate remarks and offered prayer and the choir sang several hymns. The beautiful burial service of the Lady Maccabees was rendered at the house and concluded at the grave. There was a large number of beautiful floral pieces.
Hester A. Foster was born in Clarenceville, Province, Quebec, Canada, June 22nd, 1831, which made her 70 years, 4 months and 24 days old at the time of her death. She made her home at Ypsilanti, Michigan, for many years, but came to this coast in 1891 and lived in Portland a year. She and her son, Willey, came to Skamokawa in July, 1892.
Three children were born to her, they are Charles E. Foster, of Ypsilanti, Mich., Mrs. Ella M. Young, of New York City, and Willey S. Foster, of this place.
She was buried on 19 November 1901 at Fern Hill Cemetery, Skamokawa, Wahkiakum Co, Washington.
