From Life and Times of Rev. J.G. Landrum, The History of Bethlehem Baptist Church:
"William Foster, 'Mill Creek' he was called, his remains sleep in the cemetery at Bethlehem."
His is one of the MANY unmarked graves in this cemetery. There was probably a marker there at one time - wooden or perhaps native soft stone that crumbled.

"....... William Foster, "Mill Creek" as he was called, a venerable Deacon of the Church, was an excellent man, of sound sense, honest, truthful, industrious and in a word, possessing all the attributes of a good old Virginia citizen. He was strictly a godly man, honoring his profession and the sacred office which he filled for many years. He lived to old age, when he too was gathered to his fathers. His remains sleep in the cemetery at Bethlehem. A large posterity mostly pious, live to illustrate his example and purity of spirit . . ."
