Maurice Abraham was the third of four children born to Solomon Abraham and Julia Hinkle. He grew up in Douglas County, Oregon, but had moved to Portland in 1888, and by 1897 he was employed by J. G. Mack & Company, an up-scale carpet and furniture company. (J. G. Mack married Maurice's sister Miriam in 1892.)
Maurice married Madge Y. Carlon on 13 February 1908 in Washington County, Oregon. He and Madge had one child, Julia, who was born in 1908 in Jacksonville, Oregon.
Maurice was a noted hunter and fisherman and operated the Abraham Fly Tying Company, which he and his wife, Madge, continued to run after the furniture business failed. He tied specialty flies for many sporting goods stores in his later years.
In 1926, he received one of the first pioneer fishing licenses issued in Oregon, for which a person had to be a 60-year resident in order to qualify. He was associated with the Portland Casting Club when it was reorganized in 1931 and was principal coach for the club. He was the first honorary life member of the club.
Maurice was buried in the Johnson family plot of the family of his wife's sister, Bertha (Carlon) Johnson (Mrs. Gustaf A. Johnson), together with his wife Madge.
