From the FILE of Holly HEFLIN Bundy...
On March 4, 1877, Datus wrote a letter that Abel Family Genealogist, H. Thompson "Tom" Stock states was written to John Henry Abel, the son of his brother, Almon. At the time, John Henry lived in Windsor, Ontario, Canada. (FYI: Actually, as the letter was addressed "Dear Brother", it seems as though the letter was written to his brother and not his nephew. So, that information seems confusing? per [email protected])
"Dear Brother...
I take this opportunity to redeem the promise that I made of writing to you. I often think of the pleasant time that I had with you, the brothers, and your families and would enjoy a stay with you if my health had permitted. My health has been improving for the last few months and would like to hear from all of you. Enclosed I send you a likeness of our Uncle John {Abel} and Aunt Lucy {Moulton-Abel}, a good, honest, old-fashioned couple. I spent a week with them last fall. They are in poor circumstance like the most of our family. I feel today that the good Lord has been very merciful to us as a family in the past and that we have abundant reason to honor his name. We had very pleasant weather the past month and now we are in the midst of sugar-making. I wish that you could, all of you, come to the Sugar Eat with us. I think that we might have a good time. Don't get out of patience if I don't write but keep on writing. I will endeavor to write to the other families soon. Yours..."

They bought the Abel place on River Road, where they lived and died. After Margaret died, Datus married Kate McMurphy, from whom he said that he "was glad to be divorced..."
