Miss Annie E. Rambo Is Claimed By Death
Following an illness of less than a week, Miss Annie E. Rambo, member of a prominent Georgia family and widely beloved by a host of friends, fell gently asleep Sunday afternoon at 5:15 o'clock at the home of Col. and Mrs. W. E. Watkins on Indian Springs street. On Monday of the past week Miss Rambo suffered a slight stroke of paralysis. On Wednesday she suffered the second stroke and for several days hovered on the borderland of life and death. Surrounded by members of the family she passed quietly away late Sunday afternoon.
Miss Rambo was born in Decatur county and was connected with one of Georgia's oldest families. She spent the greater portion of her life at Bluffton, where the Rambo family has long been prominent in the business, social and education affairs of the state. Several years ago she came to Jackson to make her home with her niece, Mrs. W. E. Watkins, and except for occasional visits to relatives at Bluffton and Marshallville had resided here for a number of years. Her deep culture, sweet and a sister, Miss Olive Rambo, of Jackson won for her the admiration of all with whom she came in contact. Her ennobling influence has left a tender memory in the lives of her friends.
Miss Rambo was a member of the Methodist church. She was a sister of the late Colonel J. D. Rambo, of Bluffton, alumnus of the University of Georgia and long prominent in the affairs of southwest Georgia.
The surviving relatives include the following nieces and nephews; Mrs. W. E. Watkins, of Jackson, Mrs. J. S. Murph, Mrs. B. B. Murph and Mrs. Edwin Baldwin, all of Marshallville, Mrs. Florence Hattaway, of Burnside, Ala., Mrs. L. M. Rambo, of Bluffton, Miss Olivia Banks, of New York City, and J. D. Rambo, of Macon and Drew Rambo of Marshallville, Mrs. Lillian Rambo, of Arlington is a sister-in-law.
