  DR. SHEP WALTER FOSTER was born near Troy, Pike County, Ala., June 11, 1861.
He was reared on a farm, received his education in the common schools, and at
the age of twenty entered a store in Troy as a clerk. He remained in this
position three years, and employed such leisure time as he could get at the
study of dentistry. He graduated from Vanderbilt Dental College in the spring of
1887, with the degree of D. D. S. and is now located in Decatur with a
successful practice.

  Dr. Foster is a son of John L. and Martha E. (Roundtree) Foster. The father
was born in Monroe Connty, Ga., in 1836. He was a teacher all his life. He
served in the army in the Forty-sixth Alabama Regiment from the spring of 1862
until the close of the war. He was captured at Nashville when Hood invaded
Tennessee, and sent to prison at Camp Douglas, where he remained until the close
of the war. Upon returning to civil life he resumed teaching, and continued
until 1880; he died March 15, 1883. His wife was born in Hawkinsville, Ga., and
is still living near Troy, Ala. They reared three children.
