Arthur J. Foster, 93
Arthur J. "Art" Foster, 93, died Oct. 13, 1999, at the Sunset Home in Anchorage, Alaska. He is the last direct descendant and grandson of Joel Foster, the first white settler of the city of River Falls.
He was born May 23, 1906, in River Falls. He farmed in River Falls, was in the insurance business and helped form the Farm Safety Council. He moved to Alaska in 1955 and was surface foreman of the Red Devil Mine.
In 1958 he moved to Anchorage and worked at Brown's Electric until retiring in 1972. After his retirement, he spent several summers in Kasilof, fishing for salmon. He enjoyed fishing, hunting, gardening, and spending time at the lake, watching his family play.
He cared for a pair of African lions at Brown's Electric and took them for outings in his car.
He was a loving and generous husband, father, grandfather, and great-grandfather who enjoyed his children and made life fun and interesting. He taught three generations to ice skate, fish, hunt, and take pleasure in work and doing a good job.
