<p>Perhaps Fossett's most memorable contributions occurred in the field of religion. Upon arriving in Cincinnati, he joined the Union Baptist Church, eventually serving as a clerk and trustee. In 1870, Fossett became an ordained Baptist minister, forming his own church, which eventually became the First Baptist Church of Cumminsville, that same year. Fossett served as the church's pastor until his death in 1901. </p>
