GEORGE A. FOSTER was born in Owen County, Ky., February 5, 1850, and 
is a son of John W. and Charlie A. (Juett) Foster.  John W. Foster, a
tanner by trade, was born in Owen County, in 1832, and is a son of
Tinsley Foster, a native of Virginia, who was one of the pioneer 
lettlers of Owen County.  John W. Foster was reared and educated in 
Owen County, and at the age of fifteen enlisted in the army for the 
Mexican war, at the close of which he returned home and followed his 
trade, until the opening of the late Civil War, when he again enlisted
in 1861.  He was captured at Winchester, taken to Camp Chase, Ohio, 
and afterward to Johnson Island military prison, where he was exchanged.
Again at the close of the war, returning home, he engaged in tanning 
and preaching.  About 1852 he married, and is still living in Owen 
County.  The mother of our subject was a daughter of William Juett, of
Owen County, and the maternal grandfather came from Scotland when a 
young man.  George A. Foster was reared and educated in Owen County,
and attended the university at Lexington, Ky.  He then began the study
of dentistry with Dr. Harper, of Louisville, and afterward attended the
Indiana Dental College at Indianapolis.  He practiced his profession at
Owenton two years, after which he attended Vanderbilt University, at 
Nashville, Tenn., where he graduated in 1887.  In 1885 he married Miss 
Ottie E. Hoffman, of Liberty, Va., and two children have blessed their 
union: Worth W. and John T.  Mr. Foster is a member of the Christian
Church.
