45 "Mrs. E. A. J. Rich Dies Sunday Morning
     On Sunday morning January 8, 1933 Mrs. Elijah Andrew Jackson Rich died at the home of her daughter, Mrs. J. W. Bush, in Colquitt, Ga.  When life passed from the body of that beloved woman, one of the most successful careers of womanhood came to a close.  For eighty-three years her every deed had been based upon devotion to her large family and unselfish service to her community.  With her late husband who seven years ago preceeded her to the grave she succeeded in raising one of the largest families in Southwest Georgia.  Their descendants have successfully gone forth into every walk of life to wield a great and good influence upon the world about them.  That influence is being relayed from a home founded upon the bedrock of Christian living and the world is better for their having lived in it.  Born a woman, Mrs. Rich attained the highest success as a woman.
     'Grandma' Rich came into this life on February 4, 1849 in Milford, Baker county, Georgia.  She was Christened Hattie Pearce.  Left an orphan at a tender age she was carried on horseback from Milford to Brinson by her uncle, a Mr. Bryant, while yet an infant.  From that day until the day of her death she lived in Decatur county, even maintaining it as her legal residence after she took up her abode with her daughter, at the death of her husband in 1925.  Shortly after Lee had surrendered at Appamattox, she became the bride of Mr. Rich.  To that union were born eight children, six of them survive her.  Mrs. W. G. Powell and Emory G. Rich have died.  The living are, Mrs. Jesse T. Powell, of Brinson, Mrs. J. W. Bush of Colquitt.  Euzema Rich, Judge Perry D. Rich, Thomas E. Rich, and A. J. Rich, all of Bainbridge.  In addition there are 34 grandchildren, 47 great grandchildren and one great great grandchild to mourn her.
     In addition to their own large family, Mr. and Mrs. Rich also reared the families of Mr. Tobe Wilson, who was killed in the Civil War, and of Mr. and Mrs. Emory G. Rich, who died in the same year.
     Besides her duties as a mother and a home-maker, Mrs. Rich's chief interest and activity was in the work of the Bethel Baptist Church of this county, of which she was a devoted member for sixty-five years.
     The funeral services were conducted at the church Monday morning by the Rev. H. H. Shell of the First Baptist Church, of Bainbridge, who was assisted by the Rev. D. Maurice Smith of West Bainbridge.
     Serving as pallbearers were eight grandsons: Lloyd Rich, Lamar Powell, Alee Rich, T. E. Rich, Jr., W. G. Rich, Dewey Powell, P. T. Rich and C. C. Rich.  Interment was in the Rich lot of the cemetery, adjoining the church.
     The Bainbridge Bar Association attended the rites in a body.  E. W. Cox Funeral Home in charge."
