James P. Zolman was born in Maryland January 7, 1808, and
departed this life November 16, 1898, aged 90 yrs. 10 mos. and 9
days.
With his parents he imigrated in 1812 to Ohio and settled in Knox

Ann Gordon, and at once moved to Indiana, locating in Whitley

where he resided till his death.
He was the oldest child in a family consisting of ten children
and two of his brothers, at a good old age, still survive him. He
was the father of eleven children four sons and seven daughters
all of whom are living except one. He had also twenty-three
grandchildren and nineteen great-grandchildren.
He was baptized in infancy in the M. E. church being dedicated to
God by his mother who followed the Lord forty long years. He
often told his children that he longed to died and go meet that
dear mother. Though not an active member of the church, it is
said by his friends that he was a man of prayer.
He was universally esteemed by his neighbors, many of whom
followed his remains to the grave. His funeral was preached by
Rev. H. E. Ewell of the Methodist church in the Baptist church at
Eel River and was buried in the cemetery adjoining. The funeral
discourse was on the Resurrection of the Body, and he was
committed to the ground in confidant hope of the General
Resurrection in the last day Peace to his ashes.
