Jane Abernathy was the wife of a minister who served twenty years in the Calvary Baptist Church, Washington, D.C.

Correspondence is a mixture of personal and business letters, etc. Printed material is a collection of church programs, religious pamphlets, and other material related to Calvary Church.
