Major John Frederick Foster 



Alas ! that he too should have been called upon to " cross 

 the bar " in the prime of life. Eldest son of the late Rev. Sir 

 Cavendish Hervey Foster, of Theydon Garnon Rectory, though 

 not so devoted to hunting as his brother Hervey, he was 

 sufficiently fond of the pastime not to lose the opportunity of 

 freely enjoying it in a land where it could be enjoyed par 

 excellence, to wit, in the Emerald Isle, where the family seat 

 is situated. He paid frequent visits to Essex, where he had 

 double ties, having married a daughter of the late T. Chisen- 

 hale Marsh, Esq., of Gaynes Park, and rode to hounds in as 

 quiet and neat a way as he dressed for parade, a ball, or a 

 dinner.
