Note: As it stands now April 2023 I am sad to say the DNA tests with me and my children also my only sisters children. We DO NOT have a connection to the Abbott and Pitmans. WE DO have DNA matchings with the maternal side of my father. His mother Pearl Ritchie and her mother Cora Lucy Cox family match us. There is no male line to trace and my sister and dad died many years ago and my dads only brother had no children of his own. So this remain a mystery for now.
Husband of Pearl E. Ritchie and son of Andrew Jackson Abbott Jr. and Susan Catherine Pitman.
He was first married when he was about 18 years old (fathers consent) in July 1912 to Lula Campbell in Cabool, Missouri. Lulu was was underage and had the consent of her father who I believe was Hiram L Campbell. I was told by a cousin they had a baby and I have searched but never found any info on Lulu or a baby. They possibly divorced after moving to Kansas City I am not sure. He was in Kansas City, Missouri and registered for the draft of WWI in 1917 and it says he was married. My grandmother Pearl and he were married in Kansas City on Jan. 8, 1918.
He worked at the cigar factory in Cabool and later when he moved to Kansas City was a bread salesman. After marriage to Pearl he served overseas in the war and later became a barber owned the Abbott Barber and Beauty Shop in Kansas City, Mo. until his death. He and Pearl had two sons John Jr and Earl.
His WWI war records say he was a Bugler for Co. C 7th Ammunition Train and returned from Brest, France June 22, 1919 to Brooklyn, NY and then discharged. I read where that was a very dangerous job and were subject to gas attacks. My mother told me once that he had been gassed in the war, but I have his military records and it does not mention it.
I did not know him well, but remember him as a kind, quiet nice grandfather. Always gave us wonderful Christmas gifts, our first bike, and record player. He and my uncle Earl were so nice, we had a lot of fun with them. And he could yodel I remember he was always whistling or yodeling, he liked music, never saw him mad or angry .
