	Specia	26 February 1916	In splendid health, and in possession of all her faculties, Mrs. Aaron Foster, of 154 Leland Avenue, is observing her ninety-third birthday today, in an informal way, but in the enjoyment of many gifts and various remembrances from friends, besides the calls from friends and neighbors. Several friends from Newark, where she formerly lived, came to greet her, and she had a real shower of postal card greetings. The aged lady possesses her faculties in a remarkable degree. She spent much of her time making silk quilts, which she gives to her friends, and has completed three or four a year. She reeds without glasses, and keeps up with the news of the war in Europe, with an interest that makes her exceedingly interesting in conversation. She is a consistent reader of the Courier News, and of one or two other papers. She is the last of her race, having outlived all her children, her brothers and sisters, most of whom lived to be over ninety. Her last surviving son died about seven years ago, since which time she has made her home with her son-in-law, J.W. Dickinson, of Leland Avenue, whose wife died about three years ago. Her only lineal descendants living are a grandson, John A. Dickinson, a safety engineer, located in Philadelphia , but who has been here recently for an operation in Muhlenberg Hospital, and a granddaughter, Miss Edith Dickinson, a teacher. Mrs. Foster was born in Newark, February 26, 1823 on Bank Street, on the site of the present Prudential building and lived sixty years in the same house. Her husband, who died in 1888, was a hatter in Newark, in the days when that business was carried on by individuals in a larger or smaller way, a number of whom were located in Plainfield in the later years. Her parents lived on a farm near Elizabeth where, also, her grandparents lived, and the latter were victims of raids by British soldiers in the war of the Revolution, who drove off the cattle, and otherwise helped themselves to what they wanted for food during the time the soldiers were haunting the district between Elizabeth and Springfield. She is a member of the First Presbyterian church of Newark, and was a regular attendant until she came here. She attended service there about four years ago, and has kept in touch with the church through visits of the members, and in reading the pastor’s sermon each week. On one occasion the pastor came here and held a communion service for her in the home. She recalls hearing her parents say that when the foundations of the Old First Church were held a hundred years ago, all the inhabitants of Newark could have sat within the enclosure, and it was remarked that the city would never be large enough to need a church of such capacity. In speaking of the present war she is able to contrast it with three other wars, the Mexican war of 1845-8, the Civil War of 1861-5 and the Spanish American War of 1898. Her many friends who called on her today were pleased to find her enjoying life and the ability to be about and to take an interest in affairs generally. ; Bridgewater, Somerset, New Jersey, USA¹⁰³⁰
