Obituary of B A Foster:

Research by: Robert Vaughn
rl_vaughn@yahoo.com

Posted in Minutes of the East 
Texas Lone Star Convention 
(Sacred Harp Organization)

Obituary*

B. A. Foster was borned July 30, 1850 and died Nov. 8, 1922. He professed a hope in Christ about the age of 25, and lived a consistant Christian life until his death, being a member of the Primitive Baptist Church. He was a dear lover of the old songs such as, "Amazing Grace," "When I can read my title clear," "Grace 'tis a Charming Sound," "O for a Closer Walk with God" and many others too numerous to mention. Therefore be it resolved in his death that his wife has lost a faithful companion, his children a loving father, the church a true member and the convention a good supporter. Therefore be it resolved that we bow in humble submission to the will of him that doeth all things well. May a copy of these resolutions be spread in the minutes of this convention and a copy be furnished to his companion.

Respectfully submited,
J. A. Burgess

*At the 1924 session of the Lone Star Convention, "The obituary committee for Bro. B. A. Foster asked that they be granted another year to report, as the convention would meet at Bro. Fosters home church next year, and the convention granted the time." The convention met at the Primitive Baptist Church in Maud beginning Friday July 31, 1925.

Note from Robert Vaughn:

Mike, what I have of the Lone Star Sacred Harp Convention minutes are "copies of copies". The obituary as typed above appears to have been as written by the committee, and was probably on a loose sheet of paper stuff in the back of the minute book. The obituary also appears within the text of the 1925 minutes, with only minor differences - a few words are left out, and "borned", "consistant" & "submited" are spelled correctly.

Note from Mike White:

The family is forever thankful of Mr Robert Vaughn's efforts to locate this information and the efforts, to contact the family and share his finds, it was surprising and enlightening and has opened another dimension to our Ancestors in Bowie Co Texas. In the context of the Greater White family,
solidifies our connections back to South Carolina, birth place of BF White, the Foster & Fowler's. 

Benjamain Franklin White, son of Robert White Sr (1743-1843), started the tradition of Sacred Harp Conventions in Georgia, after he published his book 'Sacred Harp' in 1844, these conventions have now spread throughout the United States and Canada, attracting followers from around the world, it is multi-denominational, as BF would have wanted it, and now attracks our youth...
