EUGENE FOSTER LAID TO REST

Large Concourse Followed Body to Last Resting Place

Augusta Ga.  January 25 (Special)

The funeral of Dr. Eugene Foster today was one of the largest attended that 
ever occurred in Augusta.  St. James Methodist church was packed and there 
were as many people standing in the vestibule and on the street outside, as 
were in the church.

The mayor and city officials, the medical fraternity, the Masons, the medical 
students, and the Richmond academy cadets were present in bodies.  Besides the 
local Methodist preachers, there were present Dr. R. J. Bigham, Rev. J. H. 
Mashburn and Rev. L. G. Johnson, former pastors of St. James church, who were 
intimately associated wtih Dr. Foster.  Each took part in the service and paid 
tribute to his worth.

The floral tributes were very handsome and profuse.  Perhaps a thousand people 
went to the cemetery and witnessed the burial service there.


Additional Comments:
Eugene Foster was married to Mary "Ellen" Johnson daugher of Leander M. 
Johnson and Mary P. Hurt Johnson of Olgethorpe County, GA.
