After his marriage Mr. Foster was engaged in business in Seneca Town- ship for two years. He then removed to Hopewell Township, where he had 160 acres of land, which he sold in a few years, and, with the proceeds, in 1832, he and his father-in-law (who had more means) embarked in mercantile business in a cabin where the "Foster Block" now stands (then known as Rome), under the firm name of Crocker & Foster. This partnership existed for ten years, when Mr. Foster became sole proprietor, and continued alone up to 1848, when his son Charles became associated with him, under the firm name of Charles W. Foster & Son, and in 1856 Mr. Olmsted was admitted. and the style changed to the present one of Foster, Olmsted & Co.
