Biography
Columbia was Drury's first wife. They had four sons and two daughters together.
Marker on Find A Grave is unclear; leaves many questions:
- no last name shown
- "Wife of John ? Abernathy", not Drury
- death year unclear
- "Aged 25 years, 7 months, 10 days" doesn't match her lifespan
These all suggest this is not her grave marker.
