Notes for Charles Foster
Information that Charles who married Nancy Emma Ferrand was the son of Milt Foster and Ellen Jones is from email correspondence with their great-granddaughter Jackie Pottle. I have not found Charles in the 1900 census yet (he should be about 17.)
His WW I draft registration card, filed 12 Sep 1918, records Charley Foster Sr., age 35, residence Clearfield, Ky, born 19 Feb 1883, occupation farming, self-employed, nearest relative Emma Foster.
(The Sr. is not to distinguish him from a son, but from the Charles Foster born 1886, a first cousin.)
His gravestone next to Nancy Emma’s has the birth year 1883, but no death year. It was apparently installed when Nancy was buried, and the inscription never finished.
