In September, 1859, he removed to Brandon, wherehe engaged in business as a merchant and grain dealer, continuing it until 1867,when, on account of ill-health, he retired from business, and look up hisresidence in Waukesha, but died the following year. In this family there werethree sons and two daughters, as follows: F. R. Foster, banker at Brandon,Wisconsin; T. N.
