Dr. Leslie P. Abbe, Prominent Dentist For Years Dies

Dr. Leslie Parker Abbe, of 20 Sunnyreach Drive, West Hartford, a prominent Hartford dentist for many years, died Monday at his home. He was president of the Hartford Dental Society from 1917 to 1918, and chairman of the finance committee of the State Dental Society for three years.

Born August 21, 1879, in Windsor Locks, Dr. Abbe received his schooling in dentistry at Philadelphia Dental College, graduating in 1907. He practiced dentistry and orthodontia until 1926 when he gave up dentistry to specialize in orthodontia. He was a member of the American Dental Association, the New England Dental Association, the New York Society of Orthodonists and the American Society of Orthodonists.

Dr. Abbe retired in 1935, but was further honored by his associates in 1939 when the State Dental Association celebrated its seventy-fifth anniversary and dedicated its anniversary booklet to the West Hartford dentist.

Other organizations in which Dr. Abbe held membership were St. Johns Lodge, AF&AM, Wolcott Council, Pythagoras Chapter, Washington Commandery, and Sphinx Temple Shrine. He was a thirty-second Degree Mason and a member of St. Andrew's Episcopal Church.

He leaves his wife, Mrs. Esther Hocker Abbe; two daughters, Mrs. Louis S. Carney and Miss Miriam O. Abbe, both of West Hartford; a grandson, Richard Parker Carney; two brothers, Earl C. Abbe of Longmeadow, Mass., and Russell Erwin Abbe of Elmwood, and three sisters, Mrs. Robert Dickson of West Orange, N.J., Mrs. Harry Marsh of Scranton, Pa., and Miss Irene Abbe of Elmwood.

The funeral will be held Wednesday at 3 p.m. at the James T. Pratt Company Chapel, 71 Farmington Avenue. Rev. John H. Jackson will officiate. Burial will be in Cedar Hill Cemetery.
