Robert Labon Abernethy Biography

Robert Labon Abernethy, educator, was born in Lincoln county, N.C., April 3, 1822; son of Turner and Fannie (Wedner) Abernethy. His father was a farmer and his first ancestor in America was John Abernethy, a near kinsman of the eminent English surgeon. He was brought up on the farm and had no school privileges. He gained a knowledge of English grammar from a second-hand textbook, and taught children in the neighborhood, extending his teaching as he gained further knowledge from such books as he could obtain. He became a minister in the Methodist church in 1840, preaching in the South Carolina conference, 1840-’43. In 1850 John Rutherford founded Rutherford college in Burke county, N.C., and the young Methodist preacher was made its first president.
