Leda DeEtta Foster was born in Kenosha County Wisconsin May 18, 1860, daughter of Eliab and Martha (Clark) Foster. She moved with her family to Ford County IL in 1865. She and her sister Martha remained single all their lives, and looked after their mother in her widowhood. They inherited the family home in Roberts. Leda taught school in her youth, and in later years made rugs and quilts and kept boarders. She died less than a month shy of her 90th birthday at the nursing home in Melvin IL.
