I was looking for information on this house on Rumble Road in Smarr and came across this photo. Does anyone know where it was? I am guessing it was on, or very near Rumble Road.
Here is the info from the Digital Library of Georgia, “near Smarr, 1910. Home of Woodbridge Rumble(1845-1894). Mr Rumble, son of Henry Rumble, built his home. Woodbridge Rumble married Josephine Richardson (1849-1931) who was the granddaughter of Gabriel Packs, pioneer. Family members from left to right: Bela Urban Rumble behind his son Frank Mallory and daughter Maragaret Frances, Douglass Rumble and wife Exa Woodruff, Gabriel Parks Rumble next to Josephine Richardson Rumble.

Hello. I ran across this when surfing in JAN 2024. Did anyone ever respond to you about this home? I am in this family of Josephine Lee Rumble. I am Woodbridge Parker Greene, Jr. – grandson of Woodbridge Greene, Josephine Lee’s son. I used to go to the Rumble family reunion in Smarr, but have not attended in many years. I don’t remember going to a house for any events; we did outdoor picnics at a nearby church yard in Smarr, GA. I too wanted to locate this house. In Google Earth, I went to the coordinates given in the entry and it was a new strip center and I saw no historical marker in the views. I wondered if you ever found more information. I am going to get down there again soon to scope things out. – Woodbridge Greene,

I’ve never learned more info, unfortunately.
