Description
English:

Joseph Foster came from Wisconsin in 1852 at the age of 24 and homesteaded on the Duwamish River, a few miles west of what would become Renton, Washington. Foster served in the Territorial Legislature for 22 years. The town of Foster, near the original homestead, was named in his honor. He died at his home in Foster in January 1911. Sometime in the 1880s, Joseph Foster sat for this photographic portrait in the Seattle studio of William F. Boyd.
