Buried at the rear of the Bast Furniture store in Boonsboro, Maryland. Abraham owned this property before his death and donated the lot next to his home for a church and cemetery. He was buried on this lot and then the property was sold and the church was never built. The Bast family has maintained his grave site.

There is strong evidence that this Abraham is Captain Abraham Lemaster that served in the Army during the Revolutionary War. Numerous documents can be found in the Maryland Archives refering to Capt Abraham Lemaster who received money to pay his troops.

Abraham married 1) Elizabeth Schreiner and 2) Rachel Delashmutt.

Inscription reads: "Aged 78 years, 3 months, 3 days. Stop Reader Stop. Let Nature Claim a Tear, My aged father Lies buried here."
