Asa Foster, of North Colesville Grange [Broome Co., NY], departed this life, August 22, 1916. In the death of Bro. Foster, North Colesville Grange has lost one of its most faithful members. Always ready and willing to do all he could for the up building of our order. He was a true friend to all who knew him. The untimely death, which was a great shock to the community in which he lived, has left a lasting sorrow on all his friends. It is very hard to be reconciled to all such bereavement, particularly when they have a personal touch and come close to one. But he is gone. We can simply show our appreciation of his work among us. The stricken and bereaved family have lost a devoted husband, kind and loving father, our community a useful and valiant friend, our Grange a most able and honored member.
Resolved: That this Grange tender its sincere sympathy to the family of the deceased, in their affliction, and be it further resolved that these resolutions be published, a copy sent the family, and a page set aside to his memory in the Grange book of records, also our charter be draped for thirty days. S.A. Holcomb, Calvin J. Holcomb, Frank E. Thompson, Committee.

Again the "Reaper" has been gathering in the well developed and fully matured grain into the garner of eternal life. An aged saint has passed from a world of sickness, sorrow and trouble, with sunshine scattered through, to a home in "beautiful morning." On Sunday, March 5, near the hour of noon, Mrs. Martin Foster died at the home of her son, Asa Foster, at the age of 91 years. Six years ago Mrs. Foster had a shock that placed her out of active life; for up to that time she had done the housework for herself and husband. From that time until twelve weeks previous to death she was able to help herself, but for the past three months has been helpless and was cared for by a loving son and his wife. Death came suddenly simply the wearing out. It was at the Foster homestead where the deceased had lived a long and devoted life, where the cable was severed, and in the old home the funeral was held on Tuesday, the 7th, at one o'clock. Rev. S.D. Galpin, her pastor, officiated and the burial was in charge of J.A. Kark's Sons, with interment in the New Ohio cemetery. This aged pilgrim is survived by a husband whose years are numbered by 95 and in his feeble health mourns the loss of a devoted companion of sixty-five years. A son, Asa Foster, one of our most esteemed citizens, and a daughter, Alvira, wife of E.J. Webster. Austin Foster, a stepson of Mrs. Foster, also survives and resides at the old home.
