Georgia E. "Ann" Taylor married William F. Lumby Jan. 31 1871 in Pulaski, GA. Georgia's mother gives the date of her marriage and events surrounding her death and the date.
Georgia's mother was Frances Marion Fowler and in her auto biography she wrote the following:
We being in very limited circumstances were unable to take proper care of her in her condition. We had her examined before a faculty, and they pronounced her a fit subject for the asylum. We thought we were doing the best for her and ourselves in sending her to the asylum. I couldn't trust her husband to go with her, for he had become so impatient with her, although he was as kind to her at first as he could be, so I went with her myself. We started to Milledgeville about the first of December. We arrived there Saturday night and went to a hotel.
I stayed at the asylum that night and left for home the next day. When I left, I didn't tell them if she died to shed her home, for I didn't' leave her there to die, but to get well as I thought with proper attention she could soon recover.
I wrote to Dr. Greene and told him if she should die to let me know for I wanted to carry her home to be buried. Dr. Green said she died with bowel [one or two words missing here] and was confined to her bed.
She lived only a few days over a month. She died on 12th of January 1872 . But I was too late; my poor unfortunate child was dead. My darling buried among strangers.
