Alvin Foster was a millwright by trade, and in 1845 he left Fort Atkinson and in company with Chester May and others established the town of Maryville by building two sawmills and a grist mill. In 1857 he brought his family to Appleton, where he became the second mayor of the city, having served as sheriff of Jefferson county in 1839. He spent the remainder of his life in retirement and died in 1867, his widow surviving him until 1880. He was a Whig and later a Republican, and with his wife attended the Congregational Church. Three children were born to Mr. and Mrs. Alvin Foster, namely: Mary Ann, who is deceased; Edward C., who died in 1906; and Henry A. Henry A.
