Obituary:
Abraham was born in Beaver County, PA, and came to Ashland County, OH, shortly before the breaking out of the Civil War. At his country's call, he enlisted in the 102d OVI on Aug. 12, 1862, and faithfully performed the duties of a soldier until the close of the war. In his sixteenth year he was enrolled as a soldier of the cross, in the army of the Lord, united with the German Lutheran Church, in which fold he continued his relation until coming to Orange Township. About eleven years ago, when he, with his wife, united with the Methodist Episcopal Church of Orange, and was faithful to the end, which came on March 18, 1911, when he received an honorable discharge from the church militant to be received into the church triumphant.
A good soldier of his country, a good soldier of Jesus Christ, his last battle has been fought and won. Long and fierce that last conflict in the valley with the great Apollina, but he wavered not. Now all is husht. His suffering time is over; the toilsome journey of life is ended. The last mile alone; sad and weary of earth, he journeyed in silence, since the companion of his years was taken from his side about sixteen months ago; but now the two are united, never again to part; and these once tired feet, as they journeyed together thru life here, will press the golden streets of the New Jerusalem, for, "He kept the faith" steadfast thru all his sufferings to the very end. When the summons came, it found him ready.
"Servant of God well done;
Thy glorious warfare's past;
The battle fought, the race is run;
And thou art crowned at last."
