His original surname was Liswig and was changed to Abrams when citizenship papers were filed. He married Anna Kaustinen in 1890 in Astoria, Oregon. A young child of theirs -Andrew William Liswig (Lisvik in the Greenwood cemetery listing) was born and died in Astoria.
The family moved to Portland where Abraham worked as a card dealer at the Erickson's salon. He then ran his own saloon and boarding house in northwest Portland before filing for a homestead 1/2 mile out of Taft on Schooner Creek in 1904. There the family operated a dairy farm. Their claim was proved up in 1908 and the Abrams family established a home in Taft.
