he was made first lieutenant, and in the fighting about Chattanooga the command of Company B devolved upon him. In the Battle of Lookout Mountain he had an ankle badly bruised by another bullet. In the autumn of 1864 he reënlisted as a veteran, being made a member of the 26th Ohio Vet. Vol. Inf. At the battle of Kenesaw Mountain a bullet cut a gash in the side of his neck, and at the Battle of Franklin, Tenn., he was wounded in the groin, ending all further activity as a sol- dier and making him an invalid for life. Nine days following he was commissioned a captain by the governor of Ohio, but was never mus- tered. While lying in the hospital both his limbs were drawn up, and became stiffened in that position, where they remained until his death. He was discharged on account of disability 15 May, 1865. When he was finally recovered sufficiently to be moved to the North, he was taken by easy stages to C. His wound did not heal until three years after his arrival. During the journey he was attended by George P. Mor- rill, of C., to whom he gave the credit of saving his life. In spite of his afflictions Mr. Foster continued to teach classics and write for the press.

Dr. Foster graduated from Bowdoin College and studied medicine. At the breaking out of the Civil war, being two years in college, he enlisted in the 2d U. S. Ber- dan's Sharpshooters and served nearly four years. He was severely wounded in the second Battle of Bull Run. His army experience was primarily the cause of his death. After the war he returned to college. In referring to his death, the Barre, Mass., paper says: "Dr. Foster was skillful and successful in his profession. During the Rebellion he was an assistant surgeon in the army. His death brought sorrow to many homes, where he was loved, both as a physician and a friend." He d. in Barre, Mass., 24 Sept., 1881, and was buried in Shrewsbury, Mass. Child: Nellie Cora9, b. 23 March, 1866; school teacher; m. in Newport, W. E. Whipple. Res., Portland, Me.

Richardson, b. in Corinth, Vt., 24 Aug., 1848; d. 1 Aug., 1908, in Leominster, Mass. She was a dau. of Rev. George W. and Laura (Merrill) Richardson. He is a farmer and breeder of blooded stock. When the Civil war broke out Mr. Foster had a strong desire to enlist, and took measures to do so, but as his only brother had already gone to the front, his parents prevailed upon him to remain at home, which he did with great reluctance. Later, however, he served for a short time as a nurse in an army hos- pital, leaving the service only a few days before it was captured by the rebels. He was very successful in his farming pursuits, and produced some excellent specimens of blooded horses, being awarded first premium at the N. E. and N. H. State Fairs. The C. town fairs, of which he was an official, also received his hearty support and cooperation. He served his town as selectman, although he never aspired to political honors. Children, b. in C .:
