       DEATH OF CAPT. THOMAS FOSTER
   We are pained to announce the death of CAPT. THOMAS FOSTER. He died at his 
residence on Swannanoa, two miles east of Ashevlle, on Friday, the 24th ult., 
in the 85th year of his age. He had lived in Buncombe County for 70 years and 
was widely known and universally esteemed. CAPT. FOSTER represented this 
District in the State Senate in 1809, 1812, 1813, and 1814 and represented 
Buncombe in the House of Commons in 1817 and again in 1819. Blessed with a 
clear, strong, and comprehensive mind, his views on public questions were 
always eagerly soought and greatly respected. As a neighbnor, a citizen, a 
father and a friend, he was faultless. His death has created a vacuum which 
will not be easily filled. He died calmly and peacefully having a desire to 
depart and be at rest.
