Married 1-Jan-1841
MRS. W.H.C. FOLSOM
Death of a Pioneer Woman
of the Northwest
This community received a shock, Wednesday, Feb. 12, by the sudden and unexpected announcement that Mrs. W.H.C. Folsom had died, at noon of that day. She had been ill but a few days, and only for a few hours was her condition considered at all critical. Over exertion had induced a hemorrhage of the lungs, followed by smothering spells, from which she got no relief.
Miss Mary Jane Wyman was born May 18, 1818, at Bloomfield, Maine, and consequently, at the time of her death was 77 years, 8 months and 25 days of age. She was married to W.H.C. Folsom, at Bloomfield, Maine, Jan. 1, 1841, and came west to Prairie du Chien, Wis., the same year. In 1845 the family came to the Saint Croix Valley, making their home at Stillwater and Saint Croix Falls until 1850, when they located at Taylors Falls, where they have since resided.
Of her immediate family she is survived by her husband, a son, W.X. Folsom, and a granddaughter, Miss Mamie Folsom. One son, Frank, died here in 1882 (sic*). Three of her sisters and a brother, Mrs. J.L. Taylor, V.L. Taylor, Mrs. T. Lacy, and Ed. P. Wyman, died at this place. (Mrs. H.S. Weston was the third sister.)
She was one of the pioneer women of the Northwest, coming here more than fifty years ago, when all was wilderness and settled only by Indians and frontiersmen . She was a woman of sterling worth, and a great home-body, looking well after the interests of her household, family, friends, dependants and associates, in a thorough but quiet and unassuming manner.
The funeral occurred from the family residence, Friday afternoon, Rev. E.E. Edwards officiating, assisted by Rev. Knott. The remains were interred in Kahbakong cemetery. A sad feature was that at the time W.H.C. Folsom was confined to his bed by sickness, as was also his brother Geo. B. Folsom, and the wife of W.X. Folsom.
Mrs. Folsom had been a member of the Methodist Church, from its first organization here.
The family and relatives have the sympathy of their many warm friends in this Valley, and several states, who have naught but the kindest recollections of the deceased.
