Note*   Foster's unmarked grave was marked by a granite shaft six years after a marker to the
memory of the Monroe Guards was dedicated 1907. [Ancestors of Harry Keister]

He began military service on May 9, 1861 at Union, VA A Civil War
Veteran. Enlisted in 27th VA INF. Some of his service record follows.
From 27thVA INF-p. 4
Of the 108 members of the company none achieved greater distinction than
Michael Foster, a 21- year-old farmer, from Summers County. Contemporary
accounts reveal that Foster was adjudged the bravest men in the company as well
as in what came to be known as the Stonewall Brigade.
The twin accolades resulted from a gesture by the ladies of Rockbridge
County who sent five suits of clothes and a wreath to Stonewall Jackson
instructing him to award a suit to the bravest soldier in each of his five
regiments and the wreath to the most valorous man in the brigade.
Foster was captured late in the war and, it was written, was so highly
regarded by John B. Gordon that the general offered 50 Federal prisoners in
exchange for him. Mike died shortly after the war, allegedly as a result of his
numerous wounds.
Foster's grave remained unmarked until 1907, when old comrades dedicated a
granite shaft "in the presence of one of the largest if not the largest crowds
of people that ever assembled within the boundaries of the county." The
monument to Foster was erected six years after a marker to the memory of the
Monroe Guards was dedicated. Sponsors of the memorial expected that a highway
would be rerouted into close proximity of the monument and erected it in a
farmer's field. The highway department failed to cooperate and today the
monument stands as a lonely sentinel in pasture land, a reminder of political
mischief. [Ancestors of Harry Keister]
