Dr. J. H. FOSTER

"Between the years 1865-85, one of the best known men in the county
and village of Lancaster was Dr. Joe. An old-time family doctor,
physician, nurse, and friend, he was loved by one and all as he traveled
over the rutted dirt roads in his horse and buggy to the homes of the
sick.
Dr. Joseph Henry Foster was born April 20, 1835 at his father's
plantation home on the Catawba River in the Waxhaws section of Lancaster
County. He was the youngest child of John and Ann Kelsey Cantzon Foster,
and a grandson of Captain John Foster and his wife Ann Dunlop. The Foster
home had been built close to the river, sometime around 1752 when the
family came down from Pennsylvania, on the plantation now belonging to
the children of Anna Foster Moore. But, due to the prevalence of malaria
which had caused the deaths of a number of the older brothers and sisters
of Dr. Joe, a new home had been erected higher up on the old plantation.
This home site is on the Lancaster-Riverside highway where C.C. Hanson
now lives. The house was burned before 1900.
Dr. Joe and his brother, Captain John Cantzon Foster received their
first education in a neighborhood school, then were sent by their father
to Mt Zion Institute in Winnsboro to prepare for entrance into the
University of South Carolina. From the University both were graduated in
1855. Joseph Henry then studied medicine in Charleston and in 1860
finished at the New Orleans School of Medicine.
Early in the spring of 1861, Dr. Foster volunteered with the Lancaster
Greys of the Confederate Army, and was with them on the S.C. coast and
later in Virginia. He was promoted to the full rank of Surgeon by order
of the Secretary of War of the Confederacy in 1862 and served with the
5th S.C. Volunteers, under the command of General Coward, until the end
of the war. An obituary of him at the time of his death says "Dr. Foster
had but few equals in the Confederate service as a successful surgeon and
physician, and it not infrequently happened that he was detailed to do
brigade and division duty."
At the close of the war, Dr. Foster returned to his father's Waxhaw
home, which he inherited upon his father's death in 1867. In 1869, he was
married to Charlotte Brown, daughter of Daniel Washington and Elizabeth
Amanda Barnes Brown. In 1876, the couple moved down to the village of
Lancaster. Their home was on the corner of Dunlap and Catawba Streets,
later sold to Dr. G. F. Poovey, and now belonging to the county, the site
of the Public Welfare Building.
In addition to practicing medecine, Dr. Foster was interested in
agriculture in every form. He planted his farm in the Waxhaws and raised
cattle on land he had bought on Gills Creek, a good part of what is now
North Main. He grew fruit trees and always had a beautiful flower garden."
Dr. and Mrs. Foster had ten children, all but three growing to
adulthood. Three of his sons followed their father's profession, the
fourth was a Lancaster attorney.
Dr. Foster died May 23, 1885. Buried in the same plot of the old
Presbyterian Cemetery with him and his wife are three young children and
a son, Dr. Carl Foster, and the latter's wife. Dr. Carl Foster practiced
medicine many years in Columbia, S.C.. Also buried beside their parents
are two daughters well-remembered by many Lancastrians, Misses Eloise and
Gertrude Foster, who were beloved teachers in the Lancaster Public school
for many years. Two children are still living, Dr. Ralph Kelsey Foster
and Miss Caroline Foster, both of Columbia, S.C."Attended Medical College

Robert M. Huey was born in New York, according to the 1880 census. He
moved to Winnsboro, South Carolina after the Civil War and married
Margaret Shaw. He ran a general store there for many years, and they had
three children. The eldest, Maggie, died 19 March, 1882 at the age of
three, and is buried at Bethel ARP in Winnsboro. She choked on a piece of
candy while her parents were at church. The 1880 census shows Robert and
Margaret living in Winnsboro with Margaret J. Shaw, his mother-in-law,
who was born in Ireland. Mary Preston, known as Mamie, was born in 1881,
and Robert Cathcart was born in 1884. Margaret died at about that time,
and Robert seems to have fallen apart. His children were raised by
Margaret's sister Mary, who was married to Thomas Hoge Ketchin, at one
time mayor of Winnsboro. Robert went through all of his money, then
worked for several newspapers before he died in Columbia 29 July, 1892.
An obituary for G.L. Huey in the Fairfield News & Herald of 30 September,
1885 refers to him as the brother of Robert M. Huey and the son of M.M.
Huey. Although both R.M. and Margaret were members of Bethel ARP Church
in Winnsboro, neither is buried there.

"Death of Mrs. R.M. Huey- Mrs. Maggie Shaw Huey, wife of Mr. R. M. Huey,
died on Wednesday morning after an illness of about two weeks. Though she
has been quite sick during this period, she was much better on Tuesday
morning, and in fact had sat up for a while. Her friends were not at all
apprehensive, but she became worse and worse until death finally brought
an end to her sufferings. The deceased was the eldest daughter of the
late Robert M. and Margaret Shaw, and was thirty-four years of age. Mrs.
Huey was a lady of many Christian virtues, and she will be sadly missed
by her many friends and relatives. She leaves a husband, two young
children, and an only sister to mourn her untimely death. The funeral
services were held at the A. R. P. Church on Wednesday afternoon. To the
bereaved husband and family, we extend our sympathies and those of the
entire community."
