NEWSPAPER MAN IS DEAD
Charles M. Abbott, of New York, Dies at Oregon City - Ill One Week
Oregon City, Or. June 4- (Special) - Charles M. Abbott, formerly editor of the Western Stock Journal, published in this city, died today at the Willamette Hotel, after an illness of about one week. Mr. Abbott had worked as a newspaper reporter and copy editor in San Francisco, Oakland, Boston and other cities in the East. He came to Oregon City about six months ago, and worked several weeks on a special issue of a daily newspaper, after which he obtained the editorship of the Stock Journal. Mr. Abbott vouchsafed little information regarding himself, excepting his newspaper connections and that his parents lived in New York City. He was an experience newspaper man, a fluent writer and evidently a college-bred man.
He complained several weeks ago of stomach trouble and remained in bed three days. Afterwards he was apparently as well as ever and resumed his newspaper duties. His last illness however, was much more serious from the start and his physician, Dr. M. C. Strickland, said several days ago that he probably could not recover.
"I never knew a finer young newspaper man than Mr. Abbott" said Grant B. Dimick, manager of the Western Journal, tonight. "He was a well informed man, and a versatile writer. He knew little of the stock business when we employed him, but he made a careful study of it, and the last articles he wrote were highly praised by stockmen. While he told me little of his personal history, I am confident that he came of a well-to-do family, and was probably a college graduate."
A telegram announcing Mr. Abbott's death was sent to his parents in New York this afternoon, but no answer had been received up to midnight.
