Lady in Black
This memorial to Mary Annie Gartrell (1853-1906) was erected by her grieving sister Lucy (1863-1954). Musicians both and natives of Cobb County, Lucy visited this grave from her Atlanta home at least twice-weekly for 48 years, many times on foot. Dressed
always in mourning clothes, Lucy became known on the streets of Atlanta as "The Lady in Black."
Marker is on West Atlanta Street SE 0.1 miles north of Cemetery Street SE.
