In the 1880s, Robert Foster owned a large parcel of land directly south of the Burton & Moses development on Burton Avenue.\u00a0 In 1889, he sold the land to Dr. Erasmus Burton<\/strong><\/a> and Darius Adams for a new 45-lot development along both sides of a new roadway that would bear his name, Foster Avenue.<\/p>\n

Robert Foster was born on October 3, 1847, to Thomas Foster and Mary (Whigham) Foster.\u00a0 Thomas Foster was born in Londonderry, Northern Ireland in 1805 and, in the early 1840s, he settled on a large parcel of land in East Cleveland Township.\u00a0 Thomas built a log cabin on the property, located near 564 East 105th<\/sup> Street, where Thomas and Mary raised their three children.\u00a0 The Foster’s property was located west of Doan Avenue (East 105th<\/sup> Street), and north of St. Clair Avenue. The land was eventually divided by the Lake Shore Railway.\u00a0 Upon Thomas Foster’s death in 1877, title to the property transferred to Robert Foster.<\/p>\n

Robert Foster married Lillian Ethel Draper on December 20, 1877.\u00a0 Lillian was born in Geauga County on March 19, 1855, the daughter of Clark Rogers Draper, an Ohio Universalist preacher, and Catherine Williams (Smith) Draper.\u00a0 The Draper family moved to Iowa when Lillian was young for Reverend Draper’s ministry.\u00a0 Upon her husband’s death in 1870, Catherine Draper moved the family back to Ohio, settling in the Cleveland area, where she built a farm near the site of the car barns at St. Clair Avenue and East 125th<\/sup> Street.\u00a0 Robert and Lillian Foster had five children.<\/p>\n\t

Robert Foster was active in area politics.\u00a0 He served as Mayor of the Village of Glenville and as a member of Cleveland City Council during the Administration of Mayor Newton D. Baker. \u00a0Robert died on May 26, 1926, at the age of 78.\u00a0 After his death, Lillian married Charles Hodges.\u00a0 Lillian died on November 28, 1945, at the age of 90.\u00a0 \u00a0Robert and Lillian are buried at Lake View Cemetery.<\/p>\n
