Gender Female

Obituary 27 Jul 1923 Fulton, Callaway, Missouri, USA

Mrs. W.W. Foster, 47 years old, died Friday morning at 4:30 o'clock at her home one mile south of Guthrie. Mrs. Foster's health began to fail about two years ago and since that time she grew gradually worse until her death, having been confined to her bed for the last six months. Her eye-sight also became affected and she had been totally blind for more than a year. She was taken to St. Louis and examined by specialists who discovered a growth at the back of the brain which is supposed to have caused her death.
Funeral services are to be held at Dry Fork Baptist Church, west of Guthrie, Saturday morning at 11:00 o'clock, conducted by the Rev. S.S. Keith, of Columbia, and burial will be in the cemetery of that church.
Mrs. Foster was born January 18, 1876 on a farm northeast of Guthrie and had spent practically her entire life in that neighborhood. Her maiden name was Ella Bennett Humphreys. She was educated in Fulton, attending high school here for four years. She was twice married, first to Boyd Clatterbuck, who died in 1913, and some years later to W.W. (Buck) Foster, who survives. Three children by the first marriage also survive: Miss Warrene Clatterbuck and Paul and Marvin Clatterbuck, all of whom live at home. One child by the second marriage, Elmo Foster, five years old, died about two months ago. Two brothers also are living: J.C. Humphreys, county superintendent of schools, and Egbert Humphreys, clerk of the Callaway county circuit court, both of Fulton.
Mrs. Foster had been a member of the Baptist church since young girlhood, and was a true Christian woman. Kindhearted, sympathetic and devoted to her family she will be greatly missed in her home circle and as well as by friends and acquaintances in the community in which she spent her life. Much sympathy is extended.
