The Last Roll Call, Ira Abbott, an Old Pioneer and Veteran Passed Away.
Ira Abbott, who had been a resident of Ely for several years died Tuesday morning January 21, after eventful career. He was found unconscious at his residence east of town Monday morning about 8 o'clock, and Dr. Richardson being called prescribed for him, but the spark of life was ebbing fast and on Tuesday morning the sun shed its first rays on the mountain top his spirit had passed way. He was born in Albany, N. Y., in the year 1832 and in his young manhood he joined the Argonauts in that mad rush for gold. Arriving in California he followed mining for ten years with varied success. When the fate of the nation was in danger, he left his rocker and shovel and took up the rifle to defend the flag he loved so well. In May 1862 he enlisted in Company A, California Volunteers, and served three years. He was mustered out and immediately re-enlisted at Camp Douglas, Utah. He was highly commended for bravery at Bear River and at Bloody Station, near Deep Creek, where, although wounded twice, he was carrying his dead comrade to a place of safety, when he fell with three wounds and barely escaped being scalped. He was finally mustered out by order of General Grant in July 1866. Since then he has been employed in nearly all the silver camps in the State and, being a practical mill man he always found ready employment. For the last few years he has resided in Ely where he was universally liked by all for his manly qualities and sterling honesty. The funeral took place on Wednesday afternoon at 2 o'clock from Hilp's Hall, Rev. A. Miller conducting the services and was largely attended. The business houses were closed, and the citizens of Ely generally showed their respect for the memory of the deceased.
