P. R. ("Print") Abraham died Sunday and left behind him the shining record of a life of great usefulness. He had been a resident of El Dorado since babyhood, and during that long stretch of more than seventy years had built a vast esteem for himself over the entire community.
For more than thirty of those years, he operated a plumbing business and thus was known to many householders. With all of them he held a high reputation for strict dependability, and for honest and lasting service. He was a skilled and ready craftsman who gave to all his work a close and conscientious attention. When "Print" Abraham performed a task, it was done with a zealous devotion to details, and the result was ever lasting and satisfactory.
He was devoted and honest in all his ways, and his sturdy character rang true in every relationship of his life. No better citizen than "Print" Abraham ever graced the ranks of El Dorado's population, and no more royal friend and nieghbor ever wove his life into the enduring fabric of his community.
Despite the burden of his years, Mr. Abraham kept busy and active until amost the last -- and his death came after only a short illness. Now he is gone, and the town which was his home for so long sorrows over the loss of one who manifested well the rugged and self-reliant qualities of the basic American character. August 6, 1952
