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.
