In Memory of HENRY P. ABBOTT. Henry Phillips Abbott, late of Allen Township, Washington county, was born in Brownsville, Fayette County, Pa., October 31, 1835, and was almost instantly killed by a fall of coal and slate in the Clipper coal mines, near the village of Allenport, Washington county, Pa., on the morning of June 29, 1891. In comemoration of an honored parent we pay this tribute of respect to his memory. His early manhood was spent in and near Fayette City, having for a number of years engaged in mining and before the day of steamboats, in boating coal from the Monongahela River to southern markets, a business full of variety and which he took a delight. Twice previous to the fatal 29th of June, 1891, he was twice carried from the same mine badly injured; at one time a leg broken, a second so severly injured in the back that fears were entertained for his recovery. At the age of 27 years at the country's call for volunteers to preserve the flag from dishonor, he enlisted under Captain Frank M. Nelson in Company B, 8th Regiment of Infantry, P.R.C. volunteers, and was enrolled on the 25th day of June, 1861, to serve three years or during the war, and was discharged from service in this Company on the 18th day of June, 1863, at a camp near Alexander, Va. by reason of re-enlistment as a private in Company H, 191st Regiment Infantry, Pennsylvania veteren volunteers, Enrolled on the 19th day of November, 1863, and served until the close of the war, being finally discharged from the service of the United States the 28th day of June, 1865. After the close of this great National conflict he returned to his former home near Fayette City and resumed his former occupation and quiet life. Being a man of firm convictions and in everything consistant to the ____ as he saw and believed the right, he renounced the political faith of his ancestery and became an unalterable Republican, believing as lie had often said either he could not support by ballot the cause he had taken up arms against in more than four years of bitter struggle and privation. He was a thorough American and a radical protectionist, never slaughtering his party and the common good of the people to appease a personal grudge; he lost sight of individuals in loyalty to the policy of his party and his country.... ....His remains are resting on beautiful Mt. Tabor cemetery; laid there by the loving hands, and with the ritualistic ceremonies of his comrades of the Grand Army of the Republic.
