A telegram from Ottawa yesterday announced the death of Colonel S.K. FOSTER, a former resident of Saint John. He removed from Saint John to Ottawa some years ago and has been living with his son, George C. FOSTER. Colonel Foster was the grandson of a loyalists, Ebenezer FOSTER who settled in Kings Co. on that part of the St. John River known as the Long Reach. At the first election of representatives of the House of Assembly in 1785, he and General Coffin were elected members for Kings Co. Ebenezer Foster was the first member of the House of Assembly who died. Lawrence FOSTER, his son, resided at the corner of King and Germain Streets, to the time of his death 1839, his wife living until 1854. S.K. Foster, the deceased, was in the shoe and paper business with his father and their building, which was the oldest in the city, was destroyed in the great fire of 1837. He was born in March, 1811 and in 1832 married the daughter of George WHITTAKER. For many years he led the choir in Trinity Church and was prominent in all musical events. In 1834 he was appointed a lieutenant in the artillery militia and a few years later was advanced to the rank of a retired colonel. He was an alderman for Queens ward for many years and once was a candidate for mayor, but was defeated by Wm O. Smith by a few votes. In 1851 he was an unsuccessful candidate for the House of Assembly, being defeated by Sheriff Harding. He left quite a large family, three members of which are in St. John now. The remains will be brought here for interment.
