On this date, August 12, 1851, Isaac Singer was granted
patent for his sewing machine.
Paul E. Foster is on the far right.
Anna's grandfather,
her mother's father, Paul Everett Foster (1895 - 1936) was a Singer
Sewing Machine man. he sold Singer
Sewing Machines and repaired them. If
someone had a problem with a Sewing Machine he would get his tool box and go to
their house and repair it. He also was a
teacher.
Paul's wife Irene Jones Foster (1891-1991) was with her
husband long enough to learn how to
repair Singer Sewing Machines. When Paul
died, at a relatively young age, Irene took over repairing Singer Swing Machines, she had his tools, why
not?
