Individual:
Harry Foster was an attorney in Lancaster and York Counties, and a member of the South Carolina House of Representatives in 1912. He died of a heart attack at the age of fifty.Obituary:Not since the tragic death of Dr. Thomas Doster on the 13th day of November, 1925 has the sudden death of a prominent citizen been received with such surprise and regret as the sudden passing of J. Harry Foster at his home on Chesterfield avenue Saturday evening, November 13, at about 8 o'clock. Mr. Foster was in the best of apparent health, but for some cause not clearly understood, suffered a violent attack of illness shortly after supper and died before a doctor could reach him. It is said by his physician that the attack brought on angina pectoris and the end came so swiftly that those of the family who were at home at the time did not realize the seriousness of the situation.
Mr. Foster was well known throughout the state in legal and legislative circles and had a wide family connection. He was a native of Lancaster, the eldest son of Dr. Jos. H. Foster and Lottie Brown Foster and was in the fiftieth year of his life. For several years, Mr. Foster and his family made their home in Rock Hill. The family moved back to Lancaster about two years ago and Mr. Foster was engaged in the practice of law here. He had also served as a member of the legislature, representing this county in the general assembly of 1912. He was also a candidate for the house in the recent Democratic primary. He was a vigorous campaigner and as a stump speaker was quick-witted and humorous, delighting his hearers with his straight-forward statements of his platform and the stories and jokes that he introduced into his speeches, which enlivened the campaign meetings.
The funeral services were conducted from the late residence on Chesterfield avenue at 10:15 o'clock on Monday morning, attended by a large assembly of friends, relatives, and associates, including the pupils of the high school and friends from Rock Hill. The services were conducted by rev. R.W. Joplings, pastor of the deceased, assisted by Rev. W.S. Patterson. The services were concluded at the grave, the interment being in Westside cemetery, the following gentlemen acting as pall bearers: B. Cunningham, H. Hines, Reece Williams, W.S........unreadable.....
