CHARLES H. ABBOTT was born in Concord, New Hampshire, January 25, 1819. After
completing his education he started west, stopping in Michigan. In 1850 he came
to Iowa and settled in Louisa County, but later removed to Muscatine, where he
engaged in farming, banking, and real estate business. Upon the organization of
the Thirtieth Iowa Volunteer Infantry in the summer of 1862, Mr. Abbott was
appointed colonel of the regiment and at once took command. He participated in
the Battle of Chickasaw Bayou, and while leading his regiment in the assault
upon Vicksburg, May 22, 1863, was killed.
