George Abbott, a resident of Tipton county for many years, died at the home of H.C. Haskett about 4 o'clock Saturday morning, death following a stroke of paralysis suffered nine days ago. Mr. Abbott had been unconscious from the time he was stricken until his death, being able to move only his right hand slightly.
The deceased was 70 years of age and had resided in Tipton county east of Tipton for perhaps 55 years. His parents were Benjamin and Mary Abbott who formerly owned what was known as the Braken farm. George, when a young man, suffered a severe attack of fever which affected his mental development, but he was a harmless unobtrusive fellow who enjoyed work and was a hand man around the farm.
When H.C. Haskett purchased the farm east of Tipton eighteen years ago, George was there and he remained. Mr. Haskett allowed him to remain and George became a permanent fixture of the household. He was trustworthy and reliable and the family felt safe to leave George in care of the premises. He was faithful to his trust. Nothing more can be said of any man.
The parents both died in this county and one brother, William of Kokomo survives. The brother has been at the bedside of the sick man for the past several days.
Funeral services are to be held at the Sandbank church Sunday afternoon at 2 o'clock and burial will be in the Sandbank cemetery.
