Henry Thomas Foster died in Walpole, N.H., in 1879, and Elizabeth Philena 

his wife then married Dr. A. J. Huntoon, who went to Topeka, Kans., to reside 

as one of the first settlers in 1857.



Henry Prentice Foster married for a second time to Eliza Marsh and from this 

union were born Charles Marsh, now practicing law in Topeka, and Katie J., 

who married Benjamin Adams of E. Derry, N.H. Henry P. Foster was a man of 

more than ordinary ability. His advice and counsel was much sought and prized 

by his fellow-townsmen, and he was often urged to accept local municipal 

offices, both town and county, but he uniformally refused. His wife was a 

zealous worker in the Washingtonian Temperance movement, and through her 

influence he became a total abstainer and to this is largely due the fact 

that all his male decendants, now numbering twelve, have always strictly 

followed his example in this respect.
