Earl T. Abbott, son of Noah Weld and Mary M. (Norris) Abbott, was born in Sugargrove township, Warren county, Pennsylvania, March 17, 1869. He received his education in public schools, and as soon as he was old enough he engaged in the lumbering business, working in saw and shingle mills until he was thirty years of age. When he was twenty one he embarked with his brothers in various mercantile pursuits, working at the same time in the lumber trade and doing an extensive business. Among other things they purchased the Curtis-Davis feed and saw mills, and on April 3, 1899, they bought the mercantile business of D.M. Stillson. At this time Earl T. Abbott took charge of the store end of their business while his brother looked after the lumber interests. On January 1, 1904, Mr. Abbott sold his interest in the lumber business to his brothers and purchased from them the interests in the Abbott Brothers store. Since that time he has been in business for himself alone. He also owns and operates a large feed mill and does an extensive coal business besides. Mr. Abbott pays a mercantile tax of seventeen thousand dollars. He also owns the stage and drayline running between Sugargrove and Jamestown, New York.
