Col. D. Clark Abbey, a business man [in pork and beef packing] well-known throughout the city and state, died at his rooms in the Plankinton House at 11 o'clock last night, after a long and severe illness. Though at one time quite active in various business pursuits, the deceased had of late years confined himself to the superintendence of his packing and ham house on Sycamore street, and to the management of the Birchard estate. The Birchard Block, or corner addition to the Plankinton House was among his last enterprises in the interest of the estate he represented. His funeral will take place at 3 o'clock next Sunday afternoon.

D. Clark Abbey, which was reported in The Sentinel yesterday morning, was duly announced on 'Change. Col. Abbey was a native of Watertown, N. Y., and entered upon a business career at an early age, in which he was quite successful, being accounted wealthy, when the crash of 1857 swept away nearly all he amassed. Since his residence in this city good fortune again attended him, and enabled him to spend his years very comfortably. The funeral is to be from the Plankinton House at 3 o'clock on Sunday afternoon.

"The very large granite monument recently ordered for the late D. C. Abbey, notice of which was made in The Republican-Sentinel at the time, is ready to be set up in Forest Home Cemetery. The base of this fine piece of work is 8 feet square and alone weighs 12 1/2 tons. When in position it will constitute a striking feature of the beautiful cemetery, the visitors should not fail to look up at it."

Gravesite Details
This small stone may not be an Abbey family member. However, there is no inscription on the monument, so it's hard to tell who this person is. It is an assumption.
