Isaac Foster, the oldest member of the G. A. R. of Indiana, died at his home in Indianapolis Wednesday, April 11 (1888). Grandfather Foster, as he was familiarly called, was born in Monroe county, West Virginia, in 1802. He was married to Sarah Ann Jones, of Butler county, Ohio, Feb. 10, 1831. Twelve children were born to them, seven of whom with their mother survive him.

Early in 1861, at the age of 57 years, he enlisted in the 71st Ohio Vol, Inf. and with the army of the Tennessee participaged in several noted battles among which was the fight at Pittsburg Landing. But the long weary march and fearful exposure proved to [sic] much for a man of his age, and despite his dauntless courage and grand aptriotism, long before the term of his enlistmet had expired he was compelled to confide to younger and sturdier hands the defense of his country.

For months after his discharge life trembled in the balance, but finally he rallied and lived to enjoy the blessings of a free and united country nearly a quarter of a century.

In disposition he was gentle as a woman and his sunset of life was beautiful as the close of a perfect day. He was a member of Joseph R. Gordon Post and his burial was conducted by that body. His funeral was attended by all the Posts of the city. The remains were interred at Crown Hill cemetery Sunday, April 15 [1888]. Mr. Foster had a larger circle of friends and relative living in this county.
