    • (Medical):In a biographical sketch written for Burke COUNTY HERITAGE I, Anne Abernethy Connelly (her daughter) recalls that Elizabeth's mother died when she was three months old. Her aunts Margaret Erwin and Elizabeth Craige McDowell took on the responsibility of rearing the little girl.

      In 1912, she married Edgar Lafayette Abernethy, son of Alilce Shuford and Adolphus Abernethy of Hickory, NC. They had three daughters, Ruth, Margaret, and Anne.
