Person:Alfred Foust (1)

A. L. FOUST, farmer, Sec. 2 ; P. O. Ashley, is a son of Henry and Mary (Olds) Foust ; his parents were born in Pennsylvania, and emigrated to Ohio in about 1800, and finally settled in Delaware Co., and had sixteen children, nine of whom grew up. Mr. Foust was born in this county, in 1839, where he has always remained, and assisted in the welfare of the community in which he lived. He was married in 1871 to Loretta, a daughter of Sullivan Smith, by whom he was blessed with three children-Arcbie H., Mabel R. and Claude C. His wife was born in 1851, in Morrow Co. They are now living on his brother's farm of 52 acres, which is well improved; he has been Constable for several years, but the most of his life has been devoted to rural labors. Farther mention of the Foust and Olds families will be made in this township history. History of Delaware and Ohio, O.L Baskin S. Co, 1880, Chicago
