The Barre authorities are trying to locate relatives of Charles W. Foster, an aged
recluse, who died at the Barre City hospital Wednesday morning after a long illness.
he was a veteran of the Civil war and had been a resident of Barre for nine years.
His wife formerly lived in Burlington, but efforts to communicate with her have been
unsuccessful. Mr. Foster was born in Wisconsin 75 years ago. He enlisted in his
native state , serving four yeas in the war. Afterward he returned to Wisconsin and
was married. About 10 years ago the family settled in Burlington. In 1905 Mr. Foster
went to Barre with his daughter, Miss Elizabeth Foster, who enrolled as a student at
Goddard seminary. her death in 1908, within one month of her graduation, was a
stunning blow to the father, who soon afterward took up his life of a recluse and
seldom mingled with his fellow men. He was a member of R. R. Crandall post, G.
