The Andover Townsman – April 17, 1896 – Vol. 9 – No. 27 – Page 5
Although it was generally known by the public as well as by the family of Hartwell B. Abbott that he was gradually failing in health, still his death last Tuesday came very suddenly and unexpectedly. In the morning he carried his daughter as usual to her duties at the Punchard School and returned home. Later he went from his house to the barn and between 11.30 and 12 his son found him lying on some hay in an unconscious condition. He passed away while being removed to the house. Although in poor health for some time, he has been worse the past four weeks, yet able to be about. The sudden end is attributed to the bursting of a blood vessel in the brain.
Mr. Abbott was purely an Andover citizen. He was born within a few rods of where he has lately lived, in the old house now occupied by his brother and sister and has lived during his long and useful life of almost four score years, lacking a few months, on this same farm. The deceased, through his life long residence, was well known in all parts of the town and on every side he is spoken of as a good citizen in the truest sense of the term. As long as his health allowed he was an active, busy man, never idle, a fact which may, perhaps, account for the marked degree of prosperity which has characterized his whole life.
Honest, upright, keen and a good judge, his advice was sought by neighbors and friends and by these he will be missed. But it is in the home, among his own family and the families of his son and daughter that his cheerful presence will be missed most of all. Only they can realize his true devotedness and kind disposition, and it is to them that the heartiest sympathy will be extended in their great loss.
It is well said of him that he believed in letting his works praise him and that he was a man of a few words, who did not let his left hand know the good that his right hand had done. He did not enter prominently into public affairs, but yet was deeply interested in the welfare of the town and did what he could in a quiet way to promote its Interests. In his death the town has lost one of its best and substantial citizens.
Funeral services were conducted at the house this afternoon at 3.30 by Rev. F. B. Shipman of the South Church, , of which the deceased was an old and faithful member. He leaves two daughters, Mrs. T. F. Pratt and Miss Mary Alice Abbott, one son, James J. Abbott a brother, Timothy Abbott, and two sister, Mrs. Dorcas Clark and Miss Hannah Abbott.
Husband of Sarah J.
