Asbury was the son of James "Big Jim" and Delilah "Eliza" Lowry Oxendine. He married Rena Lambert on Mar. 28, 1883 in Robeson County, North Carolina.
The following was taken from the Nov. 3, 1921 edition of THE ROBESONIAN:
Asbury Oxendine, Indian merchant of Pembroke, was shot from ambush and killed about 11 o'clock Monday night. The shooting took place on the A.C.L. railroad about one and a half miles north of Pembroke. Oxendine was shot twice, one load of No. 4 shot taking effect in one side and a load of buckshot in the other. Both shots were fired about the same time and it is supposed the shots were fired by different parties. He only lived about 20 minutes after being shot.
The two brothers accused of his murder, also Indians, were found not guilty due to insufficient evidence presented in their trial the following February.
***NOTE: His birth year was taken from the 1870 Federal Census. His death date was taken from the article recounting his murder in THE ROBESONIAN.
***NOTE: I assume he was buried in this cemetery since his father, daughter, and son are also buried here.
