Georgianna A. Rumbley (January 1, 1852 – July 3, 1894) was a 19th-century medical doctor, and one of 115 Black women licensed to practice medicine in the United States; the number would decline significantly into the 20th century.
[1] She graduated from the Howard University normal and musical departments, attending from 1870 to 1874.
The executor of her will was Howell L. Goins, who is mentioned in a letter to Booker T. Washington as a person he would have known.
[4][5] Records of her are scant, but she may be the "Georgiana" Rumbley who is listed as a teacher in Cedar Grove, North Carolina in 1868, when she would have been 16.
That same year she is also listed with the two-n spelling as a teacher in Hillsborough, North Carolina, eight miles away, with no record of her having gone in person.
