She had lived here since last September.
Kathleen's sister Ruth had lived with Annie in Savannah, but Ruth died In July of 1935, and apparently Annie could no longer live alone (and very likely didn't want to), so she was moved to Atlanta two months later. What an upheaval that must have been!
Besides Mrs. Stokey, who is the wife of Colonel Stokey, she is survived by a son, A. Cecil Farmer, of Pittsburgh; a brother, Andrew Gray, of London; four grandchildren, all of Atlanta, and several nieces and nephews, of London.
Cecil's wife Jessie had died a few years earlier, but she wouldn't have been mentioned anyway because she was not a blood relative.
"Four grandchildren" - Maggie is included. She was not a blood relative, but that slipped people's minds.
It's nice that Annie's brother, Andrew Gray, is mentioned. His wife Jennie was still alive as of August 1935, but she was not mentioned because she was not a blood relative.
