Huff, two miles east of the city, Mrs. (Laura) Huff being his daughter. The funeral will occur on Thursday, the hour to be announced later.

Matthew T. Abbott was (born in New Castle, Henry Co. IN ?), but moved to Iowa in the late fifties. He enlisted in the army from that state and served faithfully to the end. After the war he returned to Henry Co. and lived here until he entered the Soldiers Home in Danville, ILL two or three years since. He was a Civil War Vet serving from 1861-1865.

When he married Cordelia in 1898 he listed his mother as Catherine Harden.
