A quiet Capitol procession marked the burial of General Foster as funeral arrangements were completed at Walnut and New Jersey avenues. The Second Regiment National Guard formed the military escort to the Capitol with the George H. Thomas post bearing battle flags of the brigade Foster commanded in the Civil War.
The Indianapolis funeral featured a grand decorated car draped in large flags with black borders and white highlights, green cycas wreaths, a hammercloth deck covered in flags, and a palm relief. Gen Foster lay in full military uniform with a flag rug, and the loyal legion flag covered the coffin at the home. The casket was a state pattern red cedar with broadcloth finish.
The Indiana Senate and House paused at the bier of Gen Robert Foster in the capitol rotunda. Lawmakers viewed the casket with reverence as banners crepe and flowers adorned surrounding marble columns. A lower house resolution ordered removal of battle flags from the state museum to honor the deceased.
The amendment outlines steps for city boards to draft plans for railroad track elevation and grading, including sewer work and cost estimates, and to notify railroad owners. Objections must be in writing, heard by the Board of Public Works, with eventual council approval or court challenge if unresolved, culminating in a final decree. The bill's third reading in the senate is noted.
