"April 17, 1902- Captain W.M. Abrams, who died in Rimersburg. Sunday, April 13th, 1902, the subject of this sketch, was born in Greene County, this state, August 29th. 1819, and was in his eighty-third year at the time of his death.
He was of good Revolutionary stock. His paternal grandfather, Henry Abrams, was a lieutenant in the Continental Army, and his maternal grandfather was a famous
scout in the Indian wars under Generals Harmar, Saint Clair and Wayne
At an early age he removed to Fayette County, and thence came to Clarion County in the early forties, where he engaged in the lumber business, afterwards in the oil
business. He represented Clarion County in 1857 and '58 as a Democrat in the State Legislature and was prominently identified with the politics of this state. Up to the time of his death he was actively engaged in business, and
probably no one in the County had a larger acquaintance than he.
He kept the first ware-house where crude oil was shipped on the river from Oil City to Pittsburg in the early sixties and followed the Allegheny and Ohio rivers as a
steamboat captain. Honest, careful and industrious, his counsel and advice was sought and many a man in this section has been helped and owes his success to
him.
His children were all with him when he died, and he died peacefully, surrounded by them.
His wife died thirteen years ago. and he leaves the
following children: Mrs. Dr. J.A. (Blanche Abrams) Wick, of New Bethlehem; Mrs. L. W. Wiltsie. of Jamestown, N. Y.; W. M. Abrams Jr., of Olean. N. Y.; James D. Abrams, of Jamestown, N. Y.; and John S. Abrams, of Mayville, N. Y.
He was a prominent member of the Methodist church and the funeral, which was held Wednesday morning, April 16, in Rimersburg, was attended by a large number of people who
paid sincere tribute to the dead, as he was universally liked and esteemed by all who knew him. "
