==Alexis Caldwell Foster== Alexis C Foster was born 25 Jul 1867, in Nashville, Davidson County, Tennessee, the son of Turner J Foster. His obituary states that "as a young man" he moved to Denver, and he was certainly there in 1895 when he appears in a directory that year as the manager of the credit department of Daniels & Fisher. In 1898, possibly in Denver, he married Alice Eddy Fisher, a native of Illinois. They appear in the 1900 Census in Denver where Alexis is a "Merchant of Credit". By 1902, Alexis was cashier at the Daniels Bank. In 1920 he was elected President of the Bankers Trust Company of Denver. In 1917, he lists his occupation as "Investment Banking", and in 1924 as "banking". The next year, listing his address as the "U.S. National Bank of Denver". His obituary states that he became Vice-President of this bank, but does not specify the year. In 1928 he lists his address as "44 Wall Street, New York". Around this time, he and Alice moved to Ossining, New York in tony Westchester County, where they are listed in the 1930 census, with a house then worth $200,000, and his occupation as "Proprietor Investment Bank". Since this was 1930, that house must have been effectively a palace. In 1936, he is listed living in Scarsdale. Alexis Caldwell Foster died in 30 Apr 1945 at the Lawrence Hospital in Bronxville, New York, but while a resident of Scarsdale, per his obituary published in the ''New York Times''. His obituary describes him as a "Senior executive" of the Calvin Bullock banking firm, which he had joined in 1930. ===Primary Sources for 8=== *''Ballenger & Richards Denver City Directory'' **[http://content.ancestry.com/browse/bookview.aspx?dbid=30188&iid=dvm_LocHist013813-00217-1&desc=Alexis+Foster&rc=1319%2c2906%2c1490%2c2948%3b1489%2c2903%2c1684%2c2946 ''for the year 1895''] showing : "Alexis C Foster, with Denver Hdw Mfg Co, rms 229 14th" **[http://content.ancestry.com/browse/bookview.aspx?dbid=30192&iid=dvm_LocHist013817-00212-0&desc=Alexis+Foster&rc=1466%2c471%2c1635%2c514%3b1634%2c472%2c1831%2c514 ''for the year 1896''] showing : "Alexis C Foster (Foster, Reynolds & Co), rms Denver Athletic Club" **[http://content.ancestry.com/browse/bookview.aspx?dbid=30193&iid=dvm_LocHist013818-00225-0&desc=Alexis+Foster&rc=1460%2c2031%2c1628%2c2077%3b1628%2c2028%2c1824%2c2073 ''for the year 1898''] showing : "Alexis C Foster, mgr credit dept Daniels & Fisher, r 1429 Pennsylvania av." **[http://content.ancestry.com/browse/bookview.aspx?dbid=30194&iid=dvm_LocHist013819-00227-1&desc=Alexis+Foster&rc=118%2c3394%2c270%2c3441%3b269%2c3401%2c449%2c3444 ''for the year 1899''] showing : "Alexis C Foster, mgr retail credit dept Daniels & Fisher, r 1951 Logan av." **[http://content.ancestry.com/browse/bookview.aspx?dbid=30191&iid=dvm_LocHist013816-00240-0&desc=Alexis+Foster&rc=1403%2c608%2c1578%2c651%3b1577%2c600%2c1772%2c647 ''for the year 1900''] showing : "Alexis C Foster, creditman Daniels & Fisher, r 1405 Downing av." **[http://content.ancestry.com/browse/bookview.aspx?dbid=27994&iid=dvm_LocHist012041-00265-0&desc=Alexis+Foster&rc=1495%2c2346%2c1666%2c2384%3b1665%2c2343%2c1867%2c2382 ''for the year 1901''] showing : "Alexis C Foster, credit man Daniels & Fisher, r 1405 Downing av." **[http://content.ancestry.com/browse/bookview.aspx?dbid=28139&iid=dvm_LocHist012076-00021-1&desc=Alexis+Foster&rc=508%2c285%2c693%2c323%3b765%2c286%2c956%2c322 ''for the year 1902''] showing (page 41) : "The Daniels Bank; William Cooke Daniels, President; William C Weaver, Vice-President; Alexis C Foster, Cashier. 1119 Sixteenth Street" ***[http://content.ancestry.com/Browse/bookview.aspx?dbid=28139&iid=dvm_LocHist012076-00216-1&desc=Alexis+Foster&rc=82,2959,309,3037;355,2957,592,3030 (page 419)] : "Alexis C Foster (large type), cashier The Daniels Bank, 1119 16th, r 1405 Downing av." *[http://search.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/sse.dll?indiv=1&db=1900usfedcen%2c&rank=0&gsfn=Lucius&gsln=Foster&sx=&gs1co=1%2cAll+Countries&gs1pl=1%2c+&year=&yearend=&sbo=0&sbor=&ufr=0&wp=4%3b_80000002%3b_80000003&srchb=r&prox=1&ti=0&ti.si=0&gss=angs-d&o_iid=21416&o_lid=21416&pcat=35&fh=4&recid=4920499&recoff=1+3 1900 Census of Denver, Arapahoe County, Colorado] showing : "Alexis C Foster, Head, Apr 1868, 32, married two years TN/TN/TN, Merchant of Credit - Dry Goods, Rents home; Alice F, wife, Apr 1874, 26, married 2 years, mother of 1, 1 living, IL/WI/NY; Lucius F, son, Oct 1898, CO/TN/IL; Claudine Plagman, servant, May 1867, 33, IA/Germany/Germany" *[http://content.ancestry.com/iexec/?htx=view&dbid=6921&iid=NEWS-CO-TH_CO_SP_GA.1901_03_17_0016&rc=3249,4975,3367,5000;3572,4975,3660,5000&fn=Lucius&ln=Foster&st=d&ssrc=&pid=472499216 ''Colorado Springs Gazette'' (Colorado Springs, Colorado)], 17 Mar 1901 : "Mr and Mrs A.
