"Joel Foster" was born the youngest of eleven at Meriden, Connecticut, December 15, 1814. He was liberally educated. He came to Edwardsville, Illinois, in 1830, and to Hudson, Wisconsin, then known as Buena Vista, in 1848. After a careful exploration of the surrounding area he built a home in the fall of 1848, at the junction of the two branches of the Kinnickinnic River/Kinnickinnic River, just upstream from its falls. His first winter was spent in a cave overlooking the river with his indentured servant, Dick.
Foster was the pioneer settler of River Falls, Wisconsin, a city which grew at the location of the falls of the Kinnickinnic. He built the first dwelling house, raised the first crops, and helped many other pioneers getting started in that area. He filled many position of responsibility, including judge of St. Croix county. During the Mexican-American War he served as a quartermaster in Colonel William H. Bissell's Second Illinois Regiment.
He was known for his Copperheads (politics)/Copper Head Democratic Party (United States)/Democrat political views and was often the subject of scorn by the local newspaper's Republican Party (United States)/Republican editor.
Judge Foster was married at Chicago in 1856 to Charlotte Porch.
