Foster Cemetery is notable for having been the original burial location of famous Indian captive, Cynthia Ann Parker. She now rests alongside her famous son, Quanah Parker, and her daughter, Topsannah, at Fort Sill, OK. The original grave marker is still here with a Texas Historical Marker, and Mr. Atwood's Woodmen of the World monument is visible nearby. He is buried with his family in a plot that could use a little attention, so be careful of any critters should you step inside. The family name, "Atwood", is at the bottom of the trunk, with "WOW" under the Woodmen of the World emblem, and the inscription plate reads:
James A.
Atwood
Dec. 30, 1887
July 6, 1918
Camp No. 1992
He is at rest.
