FosterAnna (Drummond)Foster, Anna (Drummond) – Sorrow came with poignant sting to many hearts today by the intelligence of the passing away of Mrs. T.J. Foster, formerly of this city, at her home in Chicago. Her death was not unexpected. For a year past the shadows had been gathering about her, and last evening deaths sleep stone upon her. Mrs. Foster was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. James Drummond, and was brought to this county by her parents when a child. This was in 1834, her parents, hardy pioneers, living in Kankakee township for several score of years. She was married to Thomas J. Foster, who died about eleven years ago, and beside whom she will now rest in everlasting slumber. She is survived by two sisters, Mrs. Roe, of Chicago, and Mrs. Oglesby, of this county. Mrs. Foster's life was one of intense and loyal consecration to her religious faith. She practiced her belief in ministrations in which generous charity was evidenced. Her affiliation was with the Christian church, and her life and works will be enduring monuments to a precious memory. Her fatal illness had its inception about a year ago. Cancer developed and its ravages could not be stayed. With this knowledge she awaited the inevitable end and passed into the sleep that knows no earthly awakening with calm resignation and a desire to be reunited with her life companion gone before. Austin Cutler was called to Chicago to care for the remains. (La Porte Argus Bulletin, 3 Sep 1902)
