The Gospel Messenger 1904
Mrs. Mary Ann Folmar, consort of Deacon James Folmar, deceased, and daughter of 
Duncan and Nancy Sikes, was born in South Carolina November 17, 1827.  She was 
brought by her parents to Alabama when she was a child and was married to James 
Folmar February 12, 1846.  To them was born ten sons and one daughter.  Five of 
the sons preceded them to the grave.  Sister Folmar joined the church at Elam, 
Pike Co., Ala., one month previous to her husband's reception by the same 
church, in 1849, and died as she had lived in the fullest esteem and fellowship 
of the Primitive Baptists, at her home in Luverne, Ala., June 20, 1904, and was 
laid to rest beside her deceased husband on the following day in the Elam 
cemetery, after a short discourse by Eld. J. E. W. Henderson, on the subject of 
death and the resurrection.  A large congregation attended on the solemn 
occasion and bore testimony by their presence to the high esteem in which those 
dear aged pilgrims were held by the people among whom they had spent their long 
and useful lives.  The few surviving members of Zion church in conference on 
the 9th day of July 1904 adopted the above expression and offer it for 
publication in "The Gospel Messenger."  J.E.W. Henderson, Moderator, G.W. Pope, 
Clerk
