Also published in the book Giles County Cemeteries, Page 2-3 by the Historical Society about 1985. Presented on Findagrave.com with 50 listings which means they have graves that are listed in this cemetery in error. They do have the map mostly correct.
There are several Abernathy Cemeteries around the county to confuse folks that are not familiar with the locations.
