Earl Clifton Abbe was the Vice President and General Superintendent of the Moore Drop Forge Company, Springfield, Massachusetts. He was an extremely social person with many friends. He played the violin in his youth and courted his wife-to-be by playing the violin with her. The transportation for their honeymoon was a horse and buggy. He owned Lakewood Manor by Lake Sunapee in Newbury, NH which he ran as a hotel in the 1930s and 40s. When New Hampshire paid him a pittance for property it took to make a park, he sued and won more equitable payment. He was generous with his sons. He was a Freemason. He died of stomach cancer. He was my grandfather and namesake. (bio by: Earl Abbe)
