Mr. Foulke was a member of he Masonic lodge, the West Grove Friends church, and the Arcadia Lions club. Tuesday evening, the deceased was elected the office of the Lions club, his many friends little dreaming at that time that he was so soon to leave their midst. The entire town of Arcadia was shocked to hear of Mr Foulke's rash act, and all were much grieved, as he was a man beloved by all who knew him.
