Folk, Jesse C b. 8-20-1844 d. 7-9-1930 On same stone with Susan P. Folk Stone says "Father" Folk, Susan P b. 7-13-1846 d. 8-6-1929 On same stone with Jesse C. Folk Stone says "Mother" Rizer, Christian b. 11-1-1794 d. 10-10-1877 "Sacred to the Memory of Christian Rizer who was born on the 1st day of Nov. 1794, and departed this life on the 10th day of Oct. 1877. He was a consistent member of the Baptist Church for many years. On his deathbed he was perfectly calm and resigned to the will of God. Triumphant is the victors brow, fanned by some guardian Angel wing; O grave where is thy victory now, And where O death is now thy sting."

White" Rizer, Thomas P b. 4-14-1845 d. 2-25-1926 "He is not dead but sleepeth" There is a Southern Cross of Honor for service in the Confederate States of America next to the footstone. ********************************************************************************* This file was contributed for use by the Colleton County SCGenWeb Project by: Anne Gelwicks USGENWEB NOTICE: In keeping with our policy of providing free information on the Internet, material may be freely used by non-commercial entities, as long as this message remains on all copied material, AND permission is obtained from the contributor of the file.********************************************************************************** |
