Foster Family Photos

--Posted to the Roberts Illinois History Group Facebook Page.  April 2020.  By Susan Kathleen Foster Nelson.
 
Top Photo:  Old photo of Martha Clark Foster & husband Eliab Foster. Eliab was first married to Jane Rebecca Clark in Wisconsin, and they had Robert, Nancy, & Arista. Nancy died when a baby. The two boys are in this photo. After Jane died, Eliab married her sister, Martha, and they had 13 children. Their oldest child is Martha Jane, who died at about 2.5 yrs old, probably about a year or so after this photo.
Bottom Photo:  The other photo is of Parley John Foster’s family—he built the 2 Foster homes. Parley, Alice Anna Bingham Foster, daughter Fern Lucille, & son Dwayne Eliab (my GF).
