The funeral of George F. FOSTER took place from his residence Middle Simonds (Carleton Co.) Friday afternoon. The Woodstock Lodge of Masons conducted the funeral. On the veranhah before the house were the clergymen and choir. On the green in front rested the casket. The pall bearers were J.T. Allan DIBBLEE and J.T. GARDEN, Woodstock, John JAMIESON, East Florenceville and Richard PEARSON, Peel. Rev. J.E. Flewelling read a passage from the word of God and Rev. J.A. Cahill prayed, after which Rev. C.T. Phillips paid tribute to the memory of the departed. Mr. Foster was 53 years of age. His father, Geo. FOSTER, a native of Maugerville (Sunbury Co.) lived on the same homestead where he died. His son, Albion FOSTER now takes the office of Deputy Sheriff and will run the farms which his father conducted. Two sons survive, Frederick FOSTER, now of Washington Territory, who was home for the funeral and Albion R., already mentioned. There are five girls, the eldest being married to Webster ROSS, Middle Simonds. The late deputy had $5,000 insurance on his life.
