Solomon Morgan Abel

Also a son of John M. Abel, one of the loved and honored pioneers of the parish.  (See sketch of
P. K. Abel, an older brother.)

This subject was born in Winnfield, February 22, 1877.  He was educated in the common schools
of Winn Parish and at Centenary College at Jackson, La., where he graduated.  He is an excellent
penman, an efficient business man and a tireless worker.  He is one of the thoughtful members of
our Board of Aldermen.  He is a prominent member of the M. E. Church South and also of the
Masons, Knights of Pythias, and Oddfellows.  He is now chief deputy of District Clerk of Fifth
Judicial District, and right well does he perform his duties.  He has accumulated a neat sum and is
trusted and honored in the community.  

December 1, 1904 he led Miss Roena Belle Barr to Hymen's altar.  She is a daughter of the 
Reverend Dan Barr, also well known in this country.  They have two children and a lovely home.  

Mr. Abel thinks our schools and churches have the most encouraging outlook.  He is a young man
of excellent judgment and his investments are wisely made.
