History of the K R Foster home-Lyerly,Ga- Foster St. 



The Capt. K R Foster signed the deed for this home in 1904. It was bought by 
W A Parks of Carroll Co, Ga. The transaction was made for 600.00. This home 
was owned by K R Foster from 1891-1904. It was built for his son Alfred 
Foster.



"In 1891 A R Foster was building a handsome residence on Foster St"-taken 
from the 10-14-1891 article in the Chattooga News. Then 12-23-1891, Mr Alfred 
Foster will soon move into his new residence. It is my belief that this home 
was built then. Alfred was the oldest child of Capt K R and Malissa Mayo 
Foster. He was married to Sarah McLeod, by this time. he and his wife are 
buried in the Lyerly Cemetary. He was named for Alfred Shorter of Shorter 
College and his father Capt Foster was good friends with Col Alfred Shorter.
