Wife of Tucker E. Woodson. Daughter of Joseph Abney and Susan Miller.
Mrs. Agatha Abney Woodson was born in Edgefield and was married to Rev. Tucker Everett Woodson June 1, 1879. Part of her married life was spent in Tennessee, Virginia, Texas, and Augusta, Georgia, but she loved Edgefield and its traditions with a deep and abiding affection.
She was the daughter of Col. Joseph Abney, veteran of the Mexican War and of the War Between the States, and from him and her Revolutionary ancestors she imbibed a patriotic fervor that expressed itself in organizing the Old 96 District chapter, Daughters of the American Revolution, which she served as Regent.
She also served as State Historian of D.A.R.; was president of Edgefield Chapter U.D.C.; founder of Edgefield County Historical Society. She united with the Edgefield Village Baptist Church as a child under the preaching of Dr. L.H. Gwaltney. The last years of her rich and fruitful life were spent at the home, "Pine Terrace," where she died after an illness of six days. She was triumphant in death even as she had been over the vicissitudes of life. (Addenda, pp. 70f-70g).
