OBITUARY-BIRTH-DEATH-MILITARY-IMMIGRATION-RESIDENCE: Obituary of William Foster, The Essex Record, Windsor, Essex Co ON, CAN; dtd 28 Mar 1873; ; original pasted into Moses Foster family Bible, in poss of Tad D. Campbell, Gilroy CA; NOTE: "Another Old Citizen Gone. About midnight on Tuesday last William Foster, many years a resident of Windsor, died at his residence here at the age of seyenty[sic]-nine. The deceased was born at Chesham, Bucks, England, in May 1794. At the age of 18, when his country was sorely pressed for soldiers, he entered the Hereford[sic, more prob Hertford] Militia, which regiment was sent to Ireland, and he was for a time stationed at Carlow. At the end of 1813, he volunteered into the Royal Waggon Train, and with that organization was immediately dispatched to Spain, accompanying the army thence to France, and back to England in July of the following year, when he was discharged in consequence of the Train being reduced. Mr. Foster emigrated to the United States in 1829, and settled in York State; but after eight years' residence moved West as far as Michigan. Here he found it impossible for a true-hearted Briton to remain, in consequence of the sympathy expressed for, and aid openly given to, the so-called "Canadian patriots;" and he crossed over to this place a day or two after the battle of Windsor. From '37 till his death he spent the greater part of his time here, residing only a brief period some years ago in the Township of Tilbury West. He was universally respected for his uprightness of life and conduct. He enjoyed excellent health until about a month ago, when he was attacked by some asthmatic complaint, which, although it did not lay him up, doubtless caused his death. Even on Tuesday night he attended to the little duties about his premises, and locked his garden gate as usual. On retiring he found it impossible to sleep, and a little before twelve o'clock got up, and appearing very weak was assisted to a chair by his aged partner, and immediately expired without even a sigh or the slightest movement of the muscles. He leaves, besides his widow, three daughters and two sons, one of the latter being License Inspector for Windsor." [Researched by Tad D. Campbell, Gilroy CA].
