He, with his parents, moved to Indiana when a boy. After residence there of a number of years, he went to Wisconsin; thence to Iowa, and in the spring of 1886 moved to Sheridan county, Neb.
The funeral services were held at his home. Many friends paid their last tribute of respect by their attendance at the funeral. He was laid to rest south of town on the school section. May the bereaved relatives, wife and children find many friends to comfort them in their sad bereavement."
Abraham was a veterinarian in Iowa, and soon took up his work here. Jack, at that time, assisted in the care of the livestock until his father`s death.
Abraham was buried in the first cemetery in the small settlement of Gordon, but as the town grew, and more room was needed, the cemetery was then moved to its present location. The older graves were dug up and moved to the new plots. Abraham did not want any of his sons to follow in his work. He seemed to think his sickness had something to do with a kind of poisoning he acquired from the stock. Jack obeyed his father`s wishes, but kept the old medicine case, which is still in the family.
