The Atlanta Constitution, November 6, 1910
Prof. Foster’s Death is Deeply Deplored

Barnesville, Ga., November 5. – (Special.) – The people of Pike county were 
greatly shocked at the tragic death of Professor H.L. Foster, at Concord, 
yesterday, when the school dormitory was burned. He was a popular citizen and 
a fine teacher. The Middle Georgia institute, of which he was principal, is 
one of the best and most successful schools in Pike, that community priding 
itself on the school.

Professor Foster was endeavoring to get his library from the burning building, 
thus giving his life for his books. His death is greatly deplored throughout 
the county. He leaves a wife, who was Miss Searls, of Lumpkin.

The loss on account of the fire, above the insurance, is about $3,000.
