The Tyrone Herald 5/13/1915
Loving Mother Passed Away at Home On Park Avenue.
Saturday last at 11:50 o’clock, Mrs. Nancy Annie Foust, the beloved wife of 
George Foust, of Park avenue and Fifth street, passed peacefully away into the 
eternal world.  The passing of this good wife and mother has left an aching 
void in the home that can never be filled.
Seven years ago, Mrs. Foust became afflicted with rheumatism and since that 
time she had been more or less of an invalid.  About seven weeks ago her lungs 
and stomach became affected and she gradually grew weaker until the end came at 
the above mentioned time.  During her years of suffering she bore her pain with 
true christian fortitude and passed away rejoicing in the faith that had been 
hers from girlhood days.  Mrs. Foust was a devoted member of the First 
Methodist Episcopal church and of the Home department of the Sunday school.  
When in health and strength she found much pleasure in attending divine 
services and working in the Master’s vineyard.
Mrs. Nancy Annie Foust was a daughter of Philip (deceased) and Mrs. Maria 
Harpster.  She was born at Frankstown, Huntingdon county, January 16, 1869.  
For a number of years she resided at the place of her birth and at Pennsylvania 
Furnace, coming to Tyrone about sixteen years ago and resided here ever since.  
She was united in marriage to George Foust at Pine Grove Mills, Pa., October 
14, 1890.  She leaves to mourn her death her husband and the following 
children: Mrs. Cora Kreiger, Cloyd, Ada M., Blair and Myra.  She is also 
survived by her mother and the following brothers and sisters: William 
Harpster, Eden Hill; John O. Harpster, Marengo: Charles Harpster, Johnstown; 
George Harpster, Dungarvin; Mrs. Laura Neisan, Percy, Pa., Mrs. Nettie Vaughin, 
Port Matilda, Mrs. Maggie Eyer, Pennsylvania Furnace.
Funeral services conducted by Rev. George M. Glenn, were held at the home on 
Park avenue, Monday afternoon at one o’clock.  Interment in Grandview cemetery.
