"New York Evangelist" New York, New York Thursday, 28 Dec 1865
Died at Apalachin, Tioga County,, NY, on Wednesday, 6th inst., Rev D A Abbey, aged 52 years.
Rev D A Abbey, son of David and Nancy Abbey, was born at Olive, Ulster County, NY, April 6th 1818, where, with the exception of one winter attending the Academy and part of one season in the store of Gen. James S Smith of Kingston, the first seventeen years of his life were spent in labors on the farm.
In the Spring of 1881, his father and family removed to Reading, Steuben - now Schuyler County. In the Autumn preceding this removal, he was among the first subjects of quite an extensive revival, and united with the Dutch Reformed Church of his native town. By this removal, he came under the pastoral care of Rev Linus L Billington, through whose influence in a measure at least, his attention was turned to a preparation for the ministry.
He pursued his preparatory studies mostly at Geneva Lyceum, entered the sophomore class in Yale College, where he graduated in 1838' immediately entered Auburn Theological Seminary and finished his course in 1841, during which Spring and Summer, and previous to his graduation, he supplied the church in Lawrenceville, PA.
The twenty-four to twenty-five years of his active ministry were spent in Canada West, at and in the region of Niagra Falls, Monterey and West Dresden, NY, New Milford, PA and Apalachin, NY where he died.
In all the relations of life he was singularly faithful and unostentatious. He seemed to be content with doing his Master's will. For a time, during his preparatory course, he had a Foreign mission in view, but his frail constitution, it is thought, induced him to give it up. In 1843, he married Blandina M, daughter of Conrad Brodhead, Esq of his native town, whom he leaves with an only daughter, about nineteen years of age.
His parents, now deceased were consistent members of the Dutch Reformed and Presbyterian Church and instructed their family in more accordance with the puritanic ideas of consistency than are popular at the present time.

Inscription
My flesh shall slumber in the ground,
Till the last trumpet's awful sound;
Then burst the chains with sweet surprise,
And in my Saviour's image rise.
