ABERNATHY, Almeda Mitchell The Pulaski (TN) Citizen 29 Nov 1939
Mrs. Almeda Mitchell Abernathy died about 9 o'clock Friday night at her home on South First Street after a paralytic stroke she suffered sometime Tuesday morning. She was found that afternoon sitting on the floor, by Mrs. W. R. Crow, a neighbor, who assisted her to a bed. She was conscious, but later lapsed into a coma and never recovered.
Funeral rites were conducted for her by the Rev. J. K. Johnson at the Bennett-May and Company Funeral Home, Saturday afternoon, followed by burial in Maplewood Cemetery.
Mrs. Abernathy was a member of the Presbyterian Church, the Homemakers Club and Daughters of the Confederacy and in younger years took active interest in civic affairs and local charity plays and was an actress and mimic of more than ordinary ability. She was about 78 years of age and widow of Dr. W. D. Abernathy, for many years County Health Officer, who abated the smallpox epidemic in Giles County many years ago. Mrs. Abernathy is survived by a son, Mitchell Abernathy. She will be missed by her friends.
