From 1924 until 1929, he operated the Fernwood Grocery in Portland, and during 1930 he operated the sternwheeler vessel "Cowlitz" on the Columbia and Willamettte rivers. The following year, he established a new printing company in Portland, operating that until retirement in 1940.

In subsequent years he bought, repaired and sold equipment via steamship and railroad auctions.

Mr. and Mrs. Abendroth were charter members of the Tualatin Valley Gem Club organized in 1957. Before that, they were active in the Columbia Gorge Rock Hounds of Corbett.

Survivors include a son, Telore of Lincoln City; a daughter, Mrs. Laurita Leuthold of Government Camp; a brother, Albert of San Francisco, Calif.; and seven grandchildren and five great-grandchildren.

Concluding services will be at Forest View Mausoleum.
