A copy of the following undated, unidentified newspaper article was found in a scrapbook owned by Town Historian Richard Schmal:

    ALBERT FOSTER, LOWELL BANKER, FAILS SURVIVE

    Albert Foster, of Lowell, prominent in affairs of southern Lake County for many years, died of pneumonia Wednesday morning in the home of a daughter, Mrs. J. S. Robison, at Winchester, Ind., where he had recently gone on a visit. His wife was visiting relatives in Kansas.

    Mr. Foster was president of the First National bank when that institution merged with the Lowell National bank five years ago. He served as trustee of West Creek Township, Lake County council for a number of years. He was also active in the interests of the Methodist hospital in Gary.

    Surviving are his widow, Lena; two sons, Arthur and Clyde of Chicago; two daughters, Mrs. J.S. Robison of Winchester, Ind., and Mrs. R.H. Johnston of Valparaiso, and three sisters, Mrs. Frank Nelson, Mrs. George Bailey of Lowell, and Mrs. Sam Richards of Valparaiso.

    Memorial services were held this afternoon at 2:30 o'clock at Lowell.
