Lewis C. Foster, Edgerly - Lewis C. Foster was born in Texas in 1853.  He came
to Louisiana with his parents when about five years of age.  Here he received
his education in the common schools of the parish, and, when a young manm began
farming.  His father was a native of Ohio and removed to Texas early in life,
and from there to Louisiana, where he reiseded at the time of
his death, in 1878.  He was one of the most prosperous planters of this parish,
a man of benevolence and public spirit, revered by all who knew him.  Our
subject's mother is a native of Georgia.  She is yet living and is a resident of
this State.

Lewis C. Foster has been fairly successful in his chosen vocation, and is one of
Calcasieu's promising farmers.  Mr. Foster was married, in 1883, to Miss Adelia
Perkins.   They are the parents of four children.
