HENRY ABEL, ONCE OF SHEBOYGAN, IS CALLED IN MILWAUKEE
- Sheblygan Press Telegram, October 19, 1923
Henry Abel, 71, former resident of this city, died in his home in Milwaukee Thursday of paralysis. He will be buried Monday afternoon. A funeral service will be held at the chapel at 347 Reed street, Milwaukee, at 2 o'clock, and burial will be made in Forest Home cemetery, Milwaukee.
Mr. Abel was born in the town of Schlewig, Manitowoc county, on May 30, 1852, the first white child in the township of Schleswig. The town was named after him, but was later changed to Schleswig. He lived there until about thirty-five years ago, when he came to Sheboygan and entered the lumber and coal business at 836 Indiana avenue. He operated the business there about 10 years, and then engaged in the saloon and restaurant business at 402 N. Eighth street for several years. He moved to Milwaukee about seventeen years ago and remained there until the time of his death.
Mrs. Abel and two children, Miss Olga Abel, and Louis Abel of Milwaukee, survive. Mr. Abel also has several relatives in Sheboygan and Manitowoc counties. Deceased was a member of the Deutshe Gilde and a charter member of the Home Order of Foresters.

HENRY ABEL, of Sheboygan, was born in what was then the town of Abel, now the town of Schleswig, Manitowoc County, Wis., May 30, 1852, and is a son of David Abel, who settled on section 13, in that town, in 1850. The town was originated in the spring of 1856 and was called Abel in honor of the father of the subject of this record, but the following year it was changed to Schleswig. David Abel was born in 1799, in Prussia, Germany. In 1849 he emigrated with his family to Sheboygan County, but the following year settled in Manitowoc County, where he lived until his death, which occurred in 1881. The wife and mother died three years later. Their family numbered twelve children, but several of them died in early life. There are now living two sons and two daughters. The only surviving brother of the subject of this sketch is Frederick Abel. He was a faithful soldier in the War of the Rebellion and was a member of the Twenty-seventh Regiment, Wisconsin Infantry. In the course of the war, he was severely wounded and taken prisoner. He now resides near Appleton, Wis.
Henry Abel continued to live in his native county until 1888 when he removed to the city of Sheboygan and engaged in business. He operates wood yard, boarding house, and saloon at No. 836 Indiana Avenue. Mr. Abel was married in November 1873, in Manitowoc County, to Miss Bertha Reseburg, a daughter of Louis Reseburg and early settler of that county. It may be an interesting fact to state that the first marriage in Manitowoc County was that of J. Kammer and Frederika Abel. Mr. and Mrs. Henry Abel has two children, Olga and Louis. Mrs. Abel was born on September 25, 1854. Mr. Abel was elected Alderman of his ward in the spring of 1892.
