There might not have been an obit if he had no family members in the area to pay for one. Or, he hadn't been living in the area for long. There are often many reasons for no obituary. Or, ProQuest just didn't have it. The Jack C. Foust found in the Social Security Death Index carried a Social Security Card issued in Kansas before 1951. The "last residence" on the SSDI is not always where a person actually resided. It is sometimes where a final benefit (the death benefit) was sent. A family tree posted on Ancestry.com by "SeaMoon56" identified this person as Jack Cooper Foust, son of Edmond Cooper Lentz and Clara Mae Scott. He was born in Springfield, Missouri. He married Idamay Virginia Hunt in 1935. he married "Living" Plamer in Kansas in 1942. Idamay died in 1985 A family tree posted by "MrsKristen" identified the same birth/death dates, and, same parent information. Another tree posted by "Gabgolly" showed much of the same information, identified marriage to Beulah Lorraine Palmer, with whom he had six children. He had three with Idamay. ---While there were 7 trees, by 4 different people, they "could" have had the wrong information; but that doesn't appear to be the case. There was a Gladys Foust, born 4 April 1909, died Nov 1983 in Spokane, per the SSDI. But, I don't have a clue where your Gladys may have lived, etc. --I found another posting where you searched for an obit of hers in Spokane, death date 11/9/1983. CMHansen could not find an obit for her. Her father was Clarence Ray Willis, died 10/10/1973. His obit identified daughter Ruth Foust survived him, but the posting does not say where they were living at the time of Clarence Willis's death. Nor does it identify the spouse name of Ruth. A family tree of "AKmalover11" had a photo of Gladys, born/death dates the same. It identified a spouse Aaron Beatty McAdams, born 1902, and 9 children. All except two identified as "Living." Bub Clarence Sydney McAdams, 1934 to 5/13/2009 was one of the children. The tree also identified a marriage to a Jack Foust, no further information. I couldn't find an obit for Clarence either. I sent a message to "AKMalover11" via the system to read this thread and help if possible. It all depends on how soon the message is found. So, from this point of view as presented in this tree, Gladys was married at one time to a Jack Foust, but the children belonged to a McAdams. Hopefully this person will post an answer.
