Advices received in Council Bluffs tell of the death at Early, Friday of Capt. C.W. Foster, for many years prior to 1906 sexton of Fairview Cemetery and a well-known pioneer of Council Bluffs.

Captain Foster retired from his position with the Fairview Cemetery Association when he suffered a stroke of paralysis and shortly afterward went to Early, where he made his home with the family of a daughter, Mrs. A.H. Graham.

Captain Foster was about 80 years old and a member of Bluff City Lodge No. 71, A.F. & A.M. of Council Bluffs.

Burial will be at Early (Iowa), beside the body of his wife, who died many years ago.
