On this 6th day of October 1863, before me, Joseph S.
Ryan, clerk of the Probate Court of said county, personally appeared
Eugenia Foster, who being duly sworn according to law, appears
and says that she is the widow of John Foster, dec., who was a private
in Capt. Cluck's Co. 42nd Regiment Miss. Vols., commanded by
Col. Miller in the service of the Confederate States in the present war
with the United States, that the said John Foster entered the
service at Sarepta Miss. on or about the 7th day of March
1862 and died at Richmond, Virginia on or about the 12th
