J. A. FOLGER

'James Athearn ("J.A.") Folger' (June 17 1835 - June 26 1889), was the founder of the Folgers Coffee Company.
Folger was born in Nantucket, Massachusetts. In 1860 he founded the San Francisco coffee firm after leaving Nantucket in the hope of striking it rich in the California gold fields.
Instead he struck it big with the J. A. Folger Coffee Company, known today simply as Folgers Coffee. He is the great-grandfather of Peter Folger, and the great-great-grandfather of Abigail Folger.
He is buried in the Folger family plot at Mountain View Cemetery in Oakland, California.
