My 1909 Board of RR Commissioners map does not show that spur, but 
it evidently followed Soap Creek northwesterly as Soap Creek and 
Foster are shown at the same places on the Milwaukee line.
Monroe Township - amazing the number of Iowa townships named after 
presidents. The map shows Foster is about two miles north of 
the Appanoose/Monroe County line.
