Abbott, Fred

Abstract Data
Every mine operator and workman remembers Fred Abbott, who up to the time of this death in April of 1935 [1925] was ground boss for the Semple Mining Company at the Early Bird Mine. His daughter, Geneva Abbott will be graduated from the Baxter Springs Kansas high school with honors on Friday of this week. Geneva possesses a heap of those splendid traits of character so dominant with her father.

Note: Did not find an obit on Fred Abbott in 1935. [That's because it was 1925.]

Please Note: Francis Family Bible copyright 1861 was newer than some of the recorded facts in many cases. Sometimes the dates are slightly off or faded and difficult to read. Some pages are missing and the information was not replaced.

A Pike County Researcher found information for me, and I've used the Census records and other available sources. I may have mistakes, I do make them, and not all records, even certified information agree.
