The Annual Monitor (1859), pp. 57-58 reported the following upon her death:
"She was born in Nantucket, and in 1813 removed with her husband [Mayhew Folger] to Stark Co., Ohio, and in that new and thinly peopled country, with a few families of Friends who had preceded them, formed the meeting of Kendal. In 1828 her husband was removed by death. Having a birthright in the Society of Friends, and being early convinced of the truthfulness of their principles, she was faithful in maintaining them in every position of life. Enjoying almost uninterrupted health, with a social and benevolent disposition, she mingled freely with her neighbors, and thus formed a very extended acquaintance, in whom she took a lively interest. Many now living can bear testimony to her warmth, and recall with grateful remembrance some opportune word of caution or encouragement, or some unexpected token of regard. She had for some time anticipated that her departure would be sudden, and her friends have the consoling assurance, that the summons found her not unprepared."
