Georgea was the eldest daughter of Richard K. and Mary Mildred Herring Gamble. She married a distant cousin, Oliver Boone, at Memphis, Shelby County, Tennessee in 1877. She and her husband began their married life in Hernando, Mississippi but evenutally ended up going back to her home state of Arkansas to make their living. They were parents to two children: John Herring Boone and Mary Louisa Boone. When Oliver Boone died in Crittendon County, Arkansas, he was taken back to Hernando to the Boone family plot there for burial. Georgea and her son John Herring Boone were buried together at DeWitt.

In the 1870 census, Georgea’s name was listed as “Georgeanna”, which I believe to be her actual name. Her father’s parents were George and Anna Gamble, so it is very possible that a combination name might have been her actual birth name, despite being known as “Georgea” for most of her life. She was the firstborn child of Richard and Mary M. Herring Gamble. She married her second cousin, Oliver Boone, a native of Hernando, Mississippi. They had two children: John Herring Boone, born in Hernando, Mississippi, and Mary Louisa Boone who was born at Crockett’s Bluff, Arkansas. Georgea became a widow in 1902. Her husband was buried in the Boone family plot at Hernando, Mississippi. She moved in with her son, John, and lived with him until his death in January, 1938 at Rochester, Minnesota where he must have been pursuing treatment for some kind of debilitating condition from which he never recovered. Georgea died only a few months after her son, and they share a joint stone in the DeWitt Cemetery.
