Mrs Bamberg, Bamberg, Dies
Bamberg, May 10 [1940] -- Mrs Mary Ann Jennings Bamberg, widow of Gen Francis Marion Bamberg, the family for whom Bamberg and Bamberg county were named, died today following an illness of several weeks.
Funeral services will be held at 4 o'clock Saturday afternoon at the family plot in South End cemetery, in charge of her pastor, the Rev E S Dunbar, assisted by the Rev James P Westberry, Baptist pastor.
Mrs Bamberg would have been 94 years old next July 29. She was the daughter of George and Harriett Moody Jennings of Orangeburg county. She married General Bamberg soon after the close of the Confederate War, and they settled in Bamberg, where her husband, famous Confederate soldier, became one of the leaders of the county and state.
Mrs Bamberg retained her full mental faculties until a few minutes before she died. She was a highly cultured woman, an unusual example of the lady of the Old South, maintaining her home life in the spacious old Bamberg home on Railroad Avenue for a long term of years. She was a devout member of Trinity Methodist church and was one of the church's loyal supporters. She was a charter member of the UDC and was intensely interested in the welfare of her community and state.
She was the mother of ten children, five of whom preceded her to the grave, the last of whom, G Frank Bamberg, died a few months ago. Her surviving children are: Henry F Bamberg, Mrs Alma Barr and Mrs Mae Williams of Bamberg, Mrs J A Wyman of Memphis, Tenn, and Mrs Effie Wannamaker of Orangeburg; one half-sister, Miss Llewellyn Cleckley; ten grandchildren and six great grandchildren.
