Tuesday, 16 April 1907ABNER DIES IN KENTUCKY FEUD
Scion of Prominent Family Killed in Quarrel With Neighbor
Beattyville, Ky., April 15 - Clay Thomas was arrested in Owsley county today and lodged in jail here for the murder of Jesse Abner in this county Thursday night. Thomas says Abner struck him with a rock and came near knocking him off his horse, and that he drew his revolver and shot him. The killing is the result of the Hargis-Cockrell feud, in which John Abner, a relative, is a central figure. Abner belonged to a prominent family, his uncle, William Abner, being one of the wealthiest men in this section.
The Breathitt County News
Friday, 22 December 1905John Abner, Jr., died December 12th, at his home near Primrose, Lee county, from the effects of wounds received from a pistol in the hands of Harrison Lucas, who was also shot by John Abner. A mystery surrounds this tragedy, as the two combatants were neighbors and seemingly good friends.
John Abner, while he professed no religion until the latter hours of his life, his conduct and charity extended for those in need. His life is a fitting example for his neighbors. He gave testimony in his last hours that he had made peace with his God, and wished and prayed that his slayer might recover from the wounds received at his hands.
He was 38 years of age, was a man of affairs, a thrifty farmer and a good business man. He was brave, honest and truthful, as a husband he was affectionate and true, as a father he was kind and indulgent, as a neighbor he was friendly and obliging.
He leaves a wife and five small children, father, four sisters and three brothers. His family was well provided for.
