Other Events and Attributes:

• Education: Dixon High School
• Research Notes: Social Security Applications and Claims Index implies another marriage (to someone named Ayers) in about 1949. Obituary of Burton Foster does not mention Erma, yet his children were born before his marriage to Sylvia. Curiously, the Cook County, Illinois Marriage Index shows a marriage between an Erma Foster and a Burton C. Foster on 12 June 1950, ten years after they appear together in the 1940 census. This is explained by the divorce notice published in the Rock Island Argus on 30 November 1956: Burton and Erma were married and divorced twice! Find a Grave entry quotes an obituary that appeared in the Rock Island Argus, 8 March 1999.
