Rutherford College, N. 0., Nov
2S. Dr. Robert L Abernethy, Presi
dent of Rutherford College, died
here today. Dr. Abernethy has euf
feved great bodily affliction all his
life, but he has besn unusually
feeble for soma time. The deceased
was 72 years old, having been born
i
m lJincoin county, April s, lszz.
His surroundings were very humble,
though his parents were of ancient
and honorable ancestry.
By his own efforts Dr. Abernethy
secured the rudiments of an educa
tion, and his whole lif has been a
striking example of a self-made
man.
He received hts degree from
Trinity College in 18C9 ana has ever
since devoted his life to teaching.
He founded and built up Rutherford
College, which began a3 a school of
eight pupils. Over 2,000 indigent
students have since been gratuitously
educated there.
In 1880 Dr. Abernethy had the
degree of D. D. conferred upon him
by Alfred University, New York.
He wss greatly loved and honored
by the people of his Sta e.
