Mary (Kempker) Freudenhal was born on Saturday, February 23, 1862 at York Avenue in Philadelphia. She was the daughter of Albert, Sr. and Elizabeth (Rehmann) Kempker.

Circa 1882, she married Woldermar Georg Julius Jacob Freudenhal. They had four children.

  1. Gustave Adloph Freudenhal (1883-1885)

  2. Woldemar Julius Wilhelm Jacob "William" Freudenhal (1887-1920)

  3. Elisabeth Sophia Henriette "Bessie" Freudenhal (1889-1910)

  4. Albert Henry Freudenhal (1895-1934)

In the 1900 census, Mary, her parents and siblings were living on Twelfth Street in Hammonton, Atlantic County, New Jersey. It was listed as a farm.

Mary died on May 13, 1921 at the age of 60 after a long illness. She is buried at the St. James Lutheran Church cemetery in Folsom Borough, Buena Vista Township, Atlantic County, New Jersey.

Woldermar, who was born on Wednesday, November 24, 1858 in Egg Harbor City, Atlantic County, New Jersey, died on July 26, 1927 at 149 West Lehigh Avenue in Philadelphia, the home of his son, Albert Henry. He was buried at the Egg Harbor City Cemetery in Egg Harbor City, NJ.

In the Rehmann Family many events since the mid-19th century have occurred at two churches located at 1341 Mays Landing Road in Folsom, New Jersey. (Some sources list the address being in Hammonton, NJ.) There can be some confusion since names of these churches are spelled in slightly different ways depending on the date or the document.

Starting in 1848, the original church was established as St Jacobus Lutheran Church to serve the local German immigrants. It was located on a 12 acre plot of land which included a cemetery.

In 1853, conflicts over theological issues caused a split in the congregation. The land was divided into two six acre sites and one was used to construct what is now St James Lutheran Church, originally St James Evangelical Church. Charles Rehmann (1826-1892) was on the St. James committee. A second facility called Zion Evangelical & Reformed Church was founded at that time. It is sometimes listed as Zion's or Zions.

About 1998 around the 150th anniversary of the original church, the two congregations reunited into St James Lutheran Church. The cemetery is often referred to by either name, St. James or Zion.
