Son of John Thomas and Dorthula Nelson (Cole) Abernathy
Husband of Sara Haskell (Betts) Abernathy
REV. NATHAN HUBERT ABERNETHY (1880-1949), METHODIST DISTRICT SUPT.
I have in my possession an original newspaper clipping of the
obituary for my uncle, Rev. N. H. Abernethy, who was born in
Chambers County near Buffalo on September 29, 1882. On December 8,
1912 he married Sara Haskell Betts in Birmingham (Jefferson Co.)
AL. He died January 26, 1949 while serving as district
superintendent for the Jasper (Walker Co.) district
of the Methodist Church. He spelled his surname "AbernEthy" while
my father and all the other Abernathys I know (except his sons)
spell it "AbernAthy." I do not know from what newspaper this
obituary was taken. It reads:
