Foulds, Andrew Robert

(died 4 Oct. 1938, aged 93), merchant. Born at Martintown, GCt. Parents: Mr and Mrs Andrew Archibald Foulds. Andrew Foulds the younger, the subject of the present entry, became a general merchant at Martintown while still a young man, and he was also postmaster of Martintown. Rhodes Grant says that at the beginning of the 20th century the three principal general merchants at Martintown were D.T. Cresswell, Annie MacPhadden, “and Andrew Foulds, called Young Andrew.” (At the time of which Grant is speaking Andrew was in his mid-50s.) Andrew Foulds continued as a general merchant and postmaster till he retired about 1903 and went to live in Ottawa. The store Foulds operated had formerly been that of Sheriff Alexander McMartin. From about 1907 C. W. (Willy) Cresswell (son of D. T. CRESWELL) operated the former Foulds (McMartin) store . Andrew Foulds, aged 93, died at Ottawa Civic Hospital following an automobile accident. (six children) He belonged to the United Church. He was married c. 1871 to Mary Ann McGregor, also of Martintown, who died about 15 years before her husband. It is probable, also, that this was not his first marriage, and that he was the Andrew Foulds who at Martintown was married on 30 Jan. 1867 to Margaret Kinloch. (Witness 4 Feb. 1867)
