Foster was about 14 when he came with parents to Lake County. After assisting in the pioneer labor of clearing a homestead he worked at the carpenter's trade for a few years, after which he bought land in Mentor, just south of the present site of the Disciples church. Hopeful, courageous and persevering, he succeeded in improving a homestead, and until his death at the age of 73 years, was engaged in farming and carpentering. Prior to locating in Mentor, he lived for a while in Concord, and during the Mormon excitement was working for Grandison Newell, who ran an iron foundry.
