    Foust.-Samuel Foust was born December 21, 1838, and died January 29, 1920; aged 81 y. 1 m. and 8 d. He was married to Lydia Hoffman March 16, 1862, thus having lived in matrimony almost 58 years. To this union were born one son and five daughters; two daughters preceded him to the spirit world. He was a life-long member of the Mennonite Church, and served as deacon in the church for almost 49 years, faithfully performing his duties as a servant of the Lord. He had always lived on or near the old homestead, Foustwell, Somerset County, Pa., and was buried on the farm in the Foust Cemetery. Besides his wife and five children, he is survived by 31 grandchildren and 27 great-grandchildren. Services were conducted in the U. B. Church of Foustwell, by S. G. Shetler, assisted by E. J. Blough, where a large number of people had gathered to pay the last tribute of respect to an aged father in Israel.
