"DR. G. RABBY HAD LED EVENTFUL LIFE"
"After a life full of usefulness and devoted to many acts of charity, d. Gustavus Rabby, died Sunday afternoon at one o'clock at his home on 24th avenue. Dr. Rabby died surrounded by his family and friends and after a short illness with pneumonia. He was well known in Gulfport where he had lived for ten years and scores of friends will regret the passing of a good and kindly man. Dr. Gustavus Rabby who was known to his intamates as Dr. Gus Rabby, was born in Mobile, Sept. 5, 1846 and lived there on in the vicinity during his boyhood and early manhood. He was one of the youngest of the soldiers in the Confederate army, enlisting when but fourteen years of age, and continuing in the ranks throughout the four years' struggle. He was fortuante in going through the war without being wounded. After his return from the war, he took up the study of medicine and training for a nurse. He then stood an examination and was admitted to the practice of medicine, a professionwhich he followed with much success for 27 years. He was married to Miss Olivia Lorenzo of New Orleans and for nine years lived at Coden, Ala. From there he removed with his family to French Settlement, Livingston Parish, La., where he lived and practiced medicine for 17 years, or up to the time of his coming to Gulfport ten years ago. Failing in health, due to chronic asthma, caused him to give up his profession and Dr. Rabby established a bakery business which has been carried on very successfully up to the present time. Dr. Rabby leaves a large family and had a very comfortable home. The children are: Henry B. Rabby, Mrs. Amelia Stribling, Mrs. A. C. Hernandez, the latter of Baton Rouge, Otto Rabby, Carlos Rabby, who is employed at Hattiesburg, Ruby and Myrtle Rabby and Mrs. C. A. Harper. One brother, George Rabby, lives at Coden. The deceased was the youngest of a family of ten. He was a self-made man and throughout his life has been a man of remarkable enery and one who made a success where most other men would have failed. He seldom took hold of any enterprise but that it turned out well. He was a man highly respected and one who performed many acts of charity in a quiet way. The funeral will be held this afternoon at 3 o'clock from the residence, 2300 24th avenue. The services will be by Rev. J. T. Abney of the North Gulfport Methodist church of which the deceased was a member, and interment will be in Evergreen Cemetery."
