The Gospel Messenger 1904
(Deacon)James Folmar was born in Montgomery County, Ala., February 8, 1822; 
received into the fellowship of the Primitive Baptist church at Elam, Pike 
County, Ala., in 1849, and baptized by Elder William J. Pouncey.  He was 
ordained to the office of deacon 1851 or 1852, which office he filled to the 
satisfaction of the church until his death, which occurred at his residence in 
Luverne, Ala., October 29, 1903.  After short services by Elder J.E.W. 
Henderson, his remains were laid to rest in the cemetery at Elam, where he 
first joined the church.  He resided in Troy, Ala., from the winter of 1877-78 
and had membership with Beulah church until December 1892, when he moved to 
Luverne and became a member of Darien church and subsequently a constituent 
member of Zion church and died in full fellowship of the same.  We realize that 
we have lost a faithful member and efficient officer whose presence and 
influence was a power in the church for good.  Our hearts are made sad by the 
departure of this dear, faithful brother, and we pray God to sanctify our 
sorrow and that we may hereby learn to appreciate more fully the precious gifts 
bestowed upon the church.  Written by order of Zion church in conference 
December 30, 1903.  Elder J.E.W. Henderson, Moderator, G.W. Pope, Clerk.
