Caption:
Memory Hill Cemetery, | Additional Description: Dixie Haygood also known as Annie Abbott,
“The Little Georgia Magnet” (died
Nov. 21, 1915 age 54) performed for large
audiences and royalty throughout the world in
the 1890s. She was known as an “electric”
girl and spiritualist who, despite weighing only
96 pounds and being short in stature, had the
power to resist attempts by strong men to lift
her or push her backwards. Her act is still
sometimes performed by magicians and is
known as the “Annie Abbott” act. Charles
Haygood, (November 10, 1855-February 27,
1886), husband of Dixie Haygood and a Deputy
Sheriff, was shot twice at point blank
range in the chest, by Elias N. "Sam" Ennis
during a prohibition rally. (Memory Hill Cemetery tour)
