  BIOGRAPHY: Excerpt from "Claud Foster, A Biography", by Wayman Thomasson, 1949: "Claud Foster's maternal grandfather, who settled in southern Indiana, died young. LIttle about him is remembered except that his name was Schaeffer and he is credited with having built the first rope-pull gate used in rural sections of Indiana and Kentucky." [Note: It is unclear whether Julia's father's first name or surname was Schaeffer. We have her surname as Wells, though it's possible that she might have been married and widowed before marrying George Foster though not very likely because of her age.]
