Jethro S. Folger left North Carolina in 1827, and moved to Union County, Indiana. He shortly after entered land in Rush, Henry and Madison counties. In February, 1837, he moved to Rush County, where his wife died December 25, 1849. Their family consisted of six children -- Thomas S., Henry C., Lurena, Adaline and Rufus (twins), and Maria. Mr. Folger was again married, taking as his second wife Mrs. Rebecca (Smith) Ingold. They had two sons -- John C. and Homer. Henry C. Folger was reared on a farm in the wilds of early Indiana, and obtained a thorough knowledge of pioneer life, his early years being spent in assisting his father clear and improve a heavily-timbered farm. When twenty-one years old he learned the carpenter’s trade, which he followed several years in Rush county. In 1853 he went to Vermillion County, Indiana, the former home of his wife, where he lived eleven years. In 1857 he came into possession of some land from his father-in-law’s estate, and also bought the interest of one of the heirs. While in Vermillion county he followed agricultural pursuits. In 1864 he moved to Clarke County, Iowa, having previously bought 120 acres of land in the county. after coming here he bought eighty acres, which is the site of his present home. At that time it was partially improved, and by his own exertions he has brought the land under good cultivation and erected substantial and convenient buildings, and now has one of the pleasantest homes in Liberty Township. He is one of the influential and prosperous citizens of Liberty Township, and is highly esteemed by all who know him. He takes especial interest in educational matters, and his children receive the advantages of the best schools, thus fitting them for practical, useful citizens. In politics he is a Republican, but in local elections favors the man he considers best adapted to the place. He has held the office of justice of the peace eight years, and is a conscientious and just administrator. He and his wife are active and prominent members of the Methodist Protestant church. Mr. Folger was married September 29, 1852, to Miss Emily Coffin, daughter of Dr. William and Eunice (Worth) Coffin.
