Patient sufferer succumbs to death
After months of intense but patient suffering, Mrs. C. W. Foster, residing on 
Sims Street, passed away at her home very quietly at 2:30 o'clock on Sunday 
afternoon, while all the immediate members of her family were gathered at her 
bedside.
Deceased was born at Pilot Mound, Minn., and would have been 37 years of age 
next May. She was married to Mr. Foster 20 years ago and the next year they 
moved to Wabasha, Minn. They came here in 1907, and made this city their home 
ever since.
The cause of her death is pronounced as cancer. She submitted to an operation 
in December, 1916, but her case was given up as hopeless and she was an 
invalid ever since. A second operation in February, 1917, was performed mainly 
to prolong life. For the past three months she was confined to her bed all the 
time but the end was not expected so soon. About an hour before her death the 
members of the Episcopal choir came over to sing a few selections for the 
patient, and she expressed her appreciation and seemed in her usual state of 
health. The end came quickly and apparently without pain.
Funeral services were held at the Episcopal church at 2:30 on Tuesday 
afternoon. John Huncosky, Chas. Bruand, John Thielen, Edward Needham, Joseph 
Schlosser and Earl Byler served as pall bearers. The Royal Neighbors and the 
Lady Maccabees, of which lodges she was a member, attended the services in a 
body. Interment was made in the Dickinson cemetery.
To mourn are left the widower and four children, Fay, Miss Eva, Edna and Lee, 
also her mother, Mrs. Elizabeth Persons, and brother, Ed. Persons, of this 
city. A sister, Mrs. B. S. Jones of Elgin, Minn., has been here for several 
months helping in the care of the invalid.
The floral tributes were many and very beautiful, some of the special pieces 
being from the lodges of which deceased was a member and also from the 
Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen and Engine men, to which Mr. Foster belongs.
Deep sympathy is extended to the sorrowing family.
