Captain William Heywood Foster

This is the son of Wadsworth Foster and my two-greats grandfather. His middle name is his mother's maiden name. He was born 1824 and died 1906. He served in the Wisconsin Cavalry as a First Leiut and a Colonel. He reenlisted and served in the Wisconsin 83 Infantry Company D as a Captain. I found records of their movements and battles online. The documents on this LO are ones my dad owns. I copied them, then brought them home and scanned them into my computer and resized them. The documents are his first discharge paper, his request for invalid pension and his pension acceptance signed by the sec., and his obituary. The crossed guns and flags as well as the Wisconsin flag are images from the internet. The photo is a photo of a picture my dad owns. Its frame is at least 3 feet tall. I scanned my photo of it and resized it also. There were two obituaries in my dad's records of Capt. Foster, I used one here as well, a scanned copy of the orignial with the torn edges. I had to tear this copy so the white cardstock didn't stick out. The BG CS is Old World by DCWV I have owned for a very long time in anticipation of these photos. The circle is cut from an 8 inch square. I drew a line from corner to corner diagonally to find the center, used a compass to draw a circle then used MS corner punch to cut the decorative edges. The title is from my Silhouette.
