A pioneer settler of the Sterling County area, Kentucky-born Robert West Foster came here in 1881 with his brother W. L. Foster. A rancher, R. W. Foster drove his cattle to market in Fort Worth before rail lines reached this area. He was an active civic leader, a charter member of the First Methodist Church and a director of the First National Bank of Sterling City. His contributions to the community included this site, originally part of his ranch. Recorded - 1982 |
