John Abbott, 78, Dies While Riding In Car
John Abbott, 78, for many years a resident of this city died very unexpectedly Saturday night while on his way home from ocean trail park at Florence.
Mr. Abbott and his brother Robert lived together at Milton. Together with George Donohoo and Dr. Will Chandler they had gone to Florence Saturday evening. When they were nearing Detroit on their way home about 10 o'clock, Mr. Abbott slumped over on his brother John's shoulder, and upon investigation it was found he had passed away. He had been in failing health for some time and was subject to heart attacks.
The funeral service was held at Green Pond church, Tuesday afternoon at 3 o'clock conducted by Rev. Robert Lash of Milton. Songs at the service were, Beautiful Isle of Somewhere, Face to God, and Nearer My God To Thee. Pallbearers were Pat Wallace, Lon Heavner, Gus Phenninger, Billy Bristow, Virgil Lemons, and George Roberts. Burial was in the green Pond cemetery.
John Milton Abbott was born in Naples, November 16, 1863. He was married to Laura Main, who preceded him in death several years ago. Mr. Abbott had a mechanical turn of mind and was an expert machinist. When the family lived in this city he built a garage, which is now occupied by Manning & Manning, and the family lived next door in a small house which was torn down to make way for Orr Memorial hall. Before the days of auto repairing, Mr. Abbott was skillful at repairing guns and all sorts of machine shop work.
He is survived by three children, John Leland Abbott of Lakeland, Florida, Mrs. Trula Martin of St. Louis, and Wayman Abbott of Somerset, Colorado. Also four brothers survive, Ernest, Madison, Ill.; Robert, Milton; Horace, Pawnee City, Nebraska, and Gussie of Jacksonville, Ill.
