Foster's ashes were scattered on the canyon lake; letters from Bessie Foster as well. Bessie Foster letter (feb. 5, 1951), to E.B. Macnaughton: "...I wish to correct an impression that I gave you that my husband requested that his ashes be scattered on the lake at Reed college. William never spoke of his death to me... I knew he loved Reed better than any other place, and I was the one who asked the favor of you."
