Amelia was the daughter of James and Catherine Weaver Lattimore. Her childhood was spent at Weaverville and later the family moved to Tamaqua, where she taught school, also at Summit Hill. She married E. W. Abbott in 1954 at Tamaqua, and moved to the Abbott homestead where she remained for 2 years. This house is still standing and is known as the Jane Tripp property opposite Walnut street on Wyoming Avenue. They then lived at the Tuttle farm near the stone bridge in Forty Fort, and in 1862 removed to the Greenleaf property, 20 Main street, Luzerne, where she lived until the death of her husband in 1905, after which she moved to an apartment in one of her houses, occupied by James Hannigan 1221 Wyoming Avenue in Forty Fort, where she lived at the time of her death. She was preceded in death by her husband and all three of her children. Her nearest relatives are nieces and nephews. Mrs. Abbott was a consistent Christian, having united with the Presbyterian Church at Tamaqua, bringing her letter to the Kingston Presbyterian Church while it was located at Butler street, and was one of the charter members of Bennet Presbyterian Church of Luzerne, where she attended until her death. Her faculties remained keen until her last sickness, excepting her sight and hearing, and she took a great interest in the progress of affairs in the valley. -- Wilkes Barre Times Leader, July 30, 1917
