ANDREW J. D. FOSTER, son of Holman R. and Mary A. (Stout) Foster, was 
born in Barren County, Ky., December 4, 1845, and is the eldest in a 
family of two sons and two daughters. Holman R. Foster was a native of 
Barren County and of English descent.  In early life he engaged in 
farming, but soon abandoned it to embark in the live-stock business; he 
drove large droves of horses and mules to Southern markets, and also 
engaged to some extent in the slave trade; he also owned an interest in 
a general store at Roseville. He was killed on the Cumberland River, in 
Clay County, Tenn., May 13, 1864, by the guerilla chief, McGruder. Mr. 
Foster served as coroner of Barren County for two terms of two years 
each, and for many years before the war was major of the State militia.  
His widow is still living, a devoted member of the Methodist Episcopal 
Church.  Andrew J. D. Foster received a common school education in 
youth, and after attaining his majority he engaged in agricultural 
pursuits, which he continued for some six years; he then came to 
Glasgow, where he has since been engaged in the sewing-machine business, 
and for the past three years has been general emigration agent for the 
Ohio & Mississippi Railroad at Glasgow. He is also a member of Company 
E, Third Kentucky Regiment Kentucky State Guard.  Mr. Foster is 
politically a Democrat, a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church, and 
of the I. O. G. T.
