Biography

The True Citizen newspaper, January 11, 1902

The death of Mrs. Abbie Blount removes our oldest citizen of Waynesboro. She, after a long illness succumbed and passed away Thursday evening last at six o'clock.

At the time of her death she was eighty one years old. Mrs. Blount was a most estimable lady, having lived a long and Christian life of usefulness in this community, where she has always lived from earliest childhood. Her family was that old time-honored Burke County Attaway family that dates back to Revolutionary days, that has furnished so many good citizens to this county.

Her remains were interred yesterday in the old cemetery, where rest those of the family who preceded her.

• Buried in Waynesborough Confederate Memorial Cemetery.
