After his marriage he moved the family to Nebraska, then Kansas. Returned to Monroe County, Ohio for 4 years before moving to Iowa. Resided in Irving. Farmer. Served in the Civil War with the 92nd Ohio Infantry. Had 4 children.

The headstone marker shown is not for Abel Monroe Harper. It is for his 3 year old son, Frank Reed Harper. We were unable to locate a marker for Abel which leads me to believe that his wife Isabelle did not have the funds to purchase one at the time of his death.

Carol Harper Nalepa, great granddaughter of Abel.
