With Grandson Arthur Glenn Foster, in uniform
Marsha never knew this great grandmother, but she inherited a quilt that was made by Alice as a wedding gift for her son Arthur, and his bride Le Nora, for their wedding day in 1919. It is patchwork, in the wedding ring pattern, with the interlocking ring design. She was born March 24th, 1868 in Warwick, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania and died January 7th, 1952 in Biola, California.
*We have several letters written to her son A.H. Foster, and her funeral program. Below: Alice with grandson, Glenn Foster and daughter Myrtle Foster (Curtis). Left: Letter to children 1946.
The photo of the young woman is of Alice Powell Rolant Thomas (1853-1870) first wife of Thomas Coslet Thomas (1841-1908). Thomas Thomas was the father of John Phillips Thomas.
