• Notes

  The Goshen Daily News-Times July 19, 1926 Mrs. Jeanette Abbott, nearly 73 years old, widow of Frank P. Abbott, and a member of one of the oldest families in Goshen, died at noon Saturday in the Clark-Blakeslee hospital, in Indianapolis. Mrs. Abbott had been in the hospital for three months and was recovering from a fracture of the hip, when hardening of the arteries developed and caused her death. Mrs. Abbott fell at Indianapolis on April 13, sustaining a fracture of the hip, and was taken to the hospital at that time. Despite her age she was recovering satisfactorily from the injury, until last week when she became unconscious and remained so until her death. Mrs. Abbott was born in Goshen, August 29, 1853, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. C. S. Hascall. She was born in the house now occupied by Dr. S. A. Edmands, 217 North Main street, which at that time was one of the most pretentious residences in the city. Mrs. Abbott's mother, a daughter of Ebenezer Brown, came to Goshen with her parents in 1834, and her father C. S. Hascall, came here in 1837. Both were among the earliest settlers in this community. Mrs. Abbott was married on October 27, 1880, to Frank P. Abbott, who died here in September, 1912. During most of her life Mrs. Abbott was a resident of Goshen, although after her marriage she lived for three years in the south, and for seven years at East Chicago. In 1896 the family returned to Goshen and Mrs. Abbott had lived here since, although in recent years she had spent much of her time in other cities with her children. Mrs. Abbott was the mother of ten children, two of whom, Nellie and Gertrude, died in childhood. The eight surviving children are Mrs. J. R. Hendry of Detroit Mich.: Mrs. Ring W. Lardner of Great Neck, N.Y.: Mrs. G. P. Torrence, of Indianapolis: Frank P. Abbott, of Goshen: John H. Abbott of Chicago: Mrs. F. R. Kitchell, of Hingham, Mass.: Mrs. H. W. Kitchell of Evanston, Ill.: and William C. Abbott of St. Paul, Minn. There are two sisters, Mrs. A. C. Loomis of Goshen, and Mrs. William Pulling of Hamilton, Ont., and eighteen grandchildren surviving. Mrs. Abbott was a member of the First Presbyterian church of Goshen, of the Beacon Lights, and was a member of the first library board in Goshen. _____ The National Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution Volume 159 page 142 Mrs. Jeannette Hascall Abbott.
