In the Blair, Nebraska newpaper The Enterprise dated Fri. July 19, 1918 he is listed as one of the 58 men who volunteered or were drafted & would be leaving for training camp on Monday, July 22, 1918

========================================

He married a Susan Leona York Seybold in Dillon, Montana on June 2, 1919 & became a step-dad to her 3 young sons. Grover Franklin Seybold age 7, Lester S. Seybold age 6 & Louis Charles Seybold age 3. They were divorced before 1928 as she had married a Charles Stockton in 1928 & was living in Grand Junction. During the time they were married, they had two children Bonnie Abbott #156524997 & a James Abbott that was living in Atlantic, North Carolina when is mother, Susan, passed away in 1985. I am unable to locate him. In the 1930 census Aubrey is living back in Piney, Missouri with his parents now in their seventies and a nephew (grandson to his parents) named Elmer Williams. As you will see below, he got into some trouble in late 1932. After that, I can't find anything about him though he is mentioned as being a former husband of Susan in her obituary. I don't know how he came to be in buried in Salida, CO but that is listed as his last residence.

========================================

On October 26 1932, in Waynesville, Missouri, Aubrey was arrested on a charge of making a false affadavit stating that he had lost his adjusted service certificate & asking for a duplicate. He was taken to the Greene County jail by Deputy Marshal William M. Miller to await arraignment before U.S. Commissoner A. L. Arnold who was in Jefferson City that day. At the beginning of November he waived his right to a hearing. On December 23rd, he was the first case on the afternoon docket "Aubrey E. Abbott, middle-aged farmer from the Bloodland community." He admitted to making a false affidavit to secure a war veteran's certificate, claiming that his certificate was stolen in a robbery, when in fact it was being held in a Council Bluffs, Iowa bank for security on a $30 loan. "Abbott, father of quite a family, had been in jail since his arrest two weeks ago." (actually it had been two months, not weeks) In another paper it stated "he has been in jail for some time." His sentence was one more day in jail after his defense attorney, Gene Diemer, stated that he had been supporting his aged mother.

========================================

One of the papers mentioned above said he was "father to quite a family." All I was able to find were 2 children & I don't believe they were living with him. He did have quite a few siblings. So not sure what they were talking about. There could be more children, but like I said above, I wasn't able to find anything else about him & couldn't find an obituary for him.
