ABBOTT, AVAVILLE EVELINE
Keowee Courier, August 18, 1860
Submitted by: Susan Brock-Booker

Departed this life, near Walhalla, S.C., Friday August 10th, 1860, Miss 
Averillia Abbett, in the 52nd year of her age. Miss Abbett left a lonely 
mother, five brothers, and five sisters, together with a large train of 
relatives and friends to mourn their irreparable loss. She was an affectionate 
daughter, a kind sister and connected herself with such christian propriety in 
all the relations of life as to gain the esteem and good will of all that knew 
her. As she approached the hour of death, the grace of God was sufficient to 
enable her to bear her affliction as a faithful Christian, with the hope of a 
future world of endless happiness. To the last hour she seemed to be aware of 
her departure; when interrogated by her friends concerning her soul, she would 
reply that there was nothing on earth to make her wish to remain. She is gone, 
her afflictions have ended, and her soul is wafted beyond the shores of sorrow 
and pain, by the angelic choirs with whom she will be enabled to sing praises 
to Him who triumphed over death. J.M.C.H.
