R. M. ABBETT DIES AT NEWARK SATURDAY
Was Carpenter By Trade and Prominent Worker in Baptist Church and Sunday School.

Newark, Mo., Jan. 21.— R. M. Abbett died at his home here Saturday, after an illness of more than a year's duration. During a part of that time he was well enough to do some work at his shop here.
Mr. Abbett was born in Marion county and was 59 years of age at the time of his death. He was a carpenter by trade and had charge of the erection of many of the finest buildings in this vicinity. He was a prominent worker in the Baptist church and Sunday school. He became a member of that church in August, 1896, and for a number of years was a deacon in the church and a teacher in the Sunday school.
Mr. Abbett is survived by his widow, one daughter, Mrs. Arthur Nelson, of this place, one step-daughter, Mrs. Arch Millsap, of La Belle, one brother, J. R. Abbett, and five sisters, Mrs. John Steffen, Mrs. George Myers, Mrs. Frank Kimball and Mrs. Clem Myers, all of Newark vicinity and Mrs. Everett Lodd of Kansas. He also leaves many other less immediate relatives and a host of friends.
