PROMINENT PIONEER IS CALLED BY DEATH
Napoleon Boneparte Abbot, for sixty-five years a resident of California, and a pioneer of the state, died at his home in Rackerby last night, aged 83 years, 4 months and 2 days. For thirty years he made his home in Rackerby and was well known in this part of the state.

During the forty-four years of married life he was never separated from his beloved wife but one month and that was when he made a trip East twenty years ago.

He first came to Marysville from Kansas City when he was eighteen years of age. For several years he ran a store at Port Wine and from there moved to Rackerby where he spent the remaining thirty years, until his death.
