ABERNATHY, J. Press The Pulaski (TN) Citizen 30 Jul 1930
J. Press Abernathy died suddenly at his home here Monday night after a long period of physical decline, and his burial took place at Maplewood Cemetery Tuesday afternoon after funeral services by the Rev. George Douglas.
Mr. Abernathy was in the 90th year of his age and was a good citizen. For many years he was a leading farmer of the Conway locality, but retired from active work about fifteen year ago and moved to town to reside. He had for many years been a member of the Elkton Masonic Lodge and a member of the Methodist Church about 65 years. In the Civil War he was a member of the Third Tennessee Regiment in the Confederate cause and received a wound in the head at Jonesboro which injury gave him trouble at times for the remainder of his life. For a number of years, he was a member of the Giles County Court and made a good magistrate, being a man of character and honesty of purpose.
Mr. Abernathy is survived by his daughter, Miss Mary Eleanor Abernathy who resided with him and ministered to him in his declining years. M. T. Abernathy of Bethesda is a surviving brother as is C. L. Abernathy of Columbia. A sister, Mrs. Evans Barnes, resides in Texas.
