MRS. LAMBRIGHT PASSES TO REST—Estimable Woman Died Last Night After a Long 
Illness.

Mrs. M.A. Lambright passed away last night at 8:45 o’clock at her home, 719 
Norwich street.  She had been in very feeble health since the 10th of last 
July, and had been critically ill for almost a month.

She was the widow of James E. Lambright, who preceded her in death fifty years 
ago.

Mrs. Lambright was born in Liberty county, Georgia, April 3, 1826, and was in 
her eighty-ninth year.  She was married in 1843, and joined the First Baptist 
church of Savannah in 1844.  She moved with her husband to Glynn county in 
1857, became a resident of Brunswick in 1866, and has resided here ever 
since.  Six children beside a large number of grandchildren and great grand 
children survive her.  Her children are Judge J.T. Lambright, Mrs. A.M. 
Gatchell, this city; Mrs. A.C. Ward, Atlanta, Mrs. P.L. Bailey, Savannah; Mrs. 
W.S. Mell, Knoxville, and Mrs. Ida R. Wilson, Jacksonville.

Mrs. Lambright was related to some of the most prominent people of the state, 
among others being the late Dr. P.H. Mell, once Chancellor of the University 
of Georgia, and President of the Southern Baptist Convention.

She had been a member of the First Baptist church since becoming a resident of 
this city and until her health failed, was active in all its work, as well as 
every movement fro humanity’s uplift.  She was a woman of much personal charm 
and a character of rare Christian grace and beauty.  She left eh impress of 
the most elevating influence upon all who knew her.  Her love for Brunswick 
and from her people was strong and tender, and her interest in all human 
betterment never flagged through all her long life.  It is not possible to sum 
up such a life and influence in words; but it speaks for itself in the loving 
memories of hundreds upon hundreds of those who have known her.  Her thumb-
worn bible is a monument to the secret of her piety and her power.  She walked 
with God, and God’s light shone in her face.  Her passing was as easy as the 
twilight.

The funeral arrangements have not been completed, but it is announced that the 
services will occur from the First Baptist church this afternoon at 3:30 and 
the interment Is in Oak Grove cemetery.
