T. preached at Hanover AL, Methodist Church, and contracted typhus while riding circuit. His youngest son, Joseph Robert Abernathy, b. 1858, married Emma Eliza Duke, d/o James Nelson Duke and Delilah Dean. Their daughter Delilah Abernathy, married Robert Lafayette Fuller. the latter were my grandparents. Otis Fuller
