Wife of Samuel F. Abernathy.

MRS. ABERNATHY DIED SUDDENLY
Last Thursday Afternoon at Her Home
The sudden death of Mrs. Sam F. Abernathy last Thursday afternoon at her home in this place was not only a shock to the immediate family but to her many kindred and friends. Mrs. Abernathy was under treatment for heart trouble that had developed recently and when the final attack me, her demise was so sudden that physicians found her in a dying condition when they hurriedly
reached her bedside.
The circumstances made the untimely going away of this beloved young woman peculiarly sad. She was taken from the sacred shrine of motherhood, leaving an infant daughter only three weeks old, besides her husband and a son ten years of age. The family were making their home with the aged parents of the deceased, Mr. and Mrs. M.R. Taylor and the blow falls heavily upon them also.
Mrs. Abernathy was a member from childhood of the Christian church and had been teaching in the Sunday school for years. Rev. S.P. Spiegel came from West Point to conduct the funeral services Friday afternoon, which were held at the home. A very large concourse of friends was present and the display of floral offerings was most impressive. Mr. Spiegel spoke in appreciation of the christian character of the deceased and the large place she filled in the lives of those nearest to her, whose loss is irreparable. The interment was made in the family lot in the cemetery of this city.
