Mr. Foulks was an influential and popular man in St. Clair Township, as is attested by the fact that he was elected a Justice of the Peace under adverse circumstances--the township being, politically, in the majority against him. He had many warm personal friends in his place, who will drop a silent tear when they think upon his good qualities, and a sorrowful tear when they realize that he was his own worst enemy."
