The sickness of Alonzo Abernathy, mention of which was made yesterday, resulted in his death this morning at 3:30 o'clock at his home, 610 North Sixth street. Mr. Abernathy had not been feeling well since Friday having suffered from an attack of lumbago, but not until Monday night was it ascertained that paralysis of the brain had set in and it was then realized that his condition was critical. He was an industrious, hardworking man and it is believed that attempting to do heavy lifting beyond his strength brought on his sickness. In this death another Citizen employee, Miss Ethel Abernathy, linotype operator, is bereaved, Mr. Abernathy being her father, and the Citizen force feels a deep sympathy for her and the sorrowing relatives and friends.
Funeral services will be held tomorrow Thursday afternoon at 2:00 o'clock from the First Baptist church, conducted by his pastor, Rev. T. D. Vannoy, and interment will be made at Oakland cemetery. Friends are invited.
